Prediction

Toulouse record of five games without a win has seen their season end in a whimper, however they do have a slight hope of playing in the Europa League. A huge victory coupled with Rennes, Saint-Etienne and Bordeaux only collecting a point would see Le Téfécé playing in Europe next season.

 

Of course for the islanders of Ajaccio anything but a win could see them drop back down to Ligue 2 at the first attempt. So many different possibilities on the final day but with their weaker goal difference they would need to pick up at least a point to have any hope of survival.  

With a poor away record and TFC doing so well at home not to concede goals, it doesn’t look very promising.

 

Scored :  Toulouse 3 - 1 Ajaccio
