Troyes, so solid in last season's run-in, struggled to keep Montpellier at bay last weekend, and are likely to be similarly put under pressure here. Toulouse firmly had the better of Nice last weekend and will be looking to build on that with three points. 1:2
Renaud Ripart returned from injury and should feature here again. New signing Iké Ugbo is not quite match fit, but could be available from the bench. Xavier Chavalerin has been used in more advanced roles by Bruno Irles and that should continue. Toulouse put out a side heavier on summer signings than one would have expected, but shouldn't change much after a gritty draw against Nice. Rhys Healey and Ado Onaiwu could also be options in attack. Maxime Dupé appears to have kept his place in goal ahead of summer arrival Kjetil Haug.
