French Ligue 1 - The newly-promoted Toulouse Paris Paris is expected to continue to lead the standings


Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain's winning streak came to an end after a 1-1 draw by Monaco in the previous round. In the fifth round of the French Ligue 1 competition tomorrow, Paris Saint-Germain will go to the road to fight the newly-promoted Toulouse. Therefore, Galdi's team is more optimistic about returning to the winning track and continuing to lead the standings.


Paris Saint-Germain were drawn at home by Monaco in the last round of the league, ending their winning streak. However , Paris Saint-Germain relied on 18 goal difference in 4 rounds to lead the standings.


It is worth mentioning that this round of the away game against Toulouse is also a confrontation between the Ligue 1 champions and the Ligue 2 champions. Toulouse lost to Nantes 1-3 in the last round of the away game, but had no choice but to accept the first defeat of the season. In the first 4 rounds of the league, they achieved 1 win, 2 and 1 loss, ranking 10th in the standings with 5 points. This battle is also the first time the two sides have played against each other in the Ligue 1 battlefield in two years.


In addition, the head of Paris star Mbappe had 9 shots in the last round, but he did not break the goal unexpectedly, and was criticized by fans for lack of team spirit. Although there has been no more outstanding performance in the near future, Mbappe will form a trident with Messi and Neymar if there is no accident, helping the team to score 3 points.


According to the data, Neymar, who made great achievements in the last round, has topped the Ligue 1 scorer list with 6 goals so far this season, and has 18 goals in Paris with Mbappe with 4 goals, Messi with 3 goals, and Aslav with 2 goals. 15 goals were arranged in the goals, and the efficiency was quite remarkable.


Although Paris still has the ability to dominate in Ligue 1, the opponent Toulouse in this campaign also maintains a certain ability to score points when playing at home. Toulouse has only lost one of their last 18 home games, a 0-1 loss to Ligue 2 side Versailles in the French Cup in January.


In other games, Marseille, currently second in the standings, will face ninth-placed Clermont at home, and Lens will face Llorente at home.
