Toulouse vs Nantes Prediction: 1-1
Toulouse didn’t have the best of finishes having failed to win both of their last two matches-otherwise, they would’ve been promoted automatically. However, they’ve shown a little fight in them as they comfortably dispatched Grenoble in the promotion playoff final. They go up against Nantes who, on the final day, failed to pick up that point that would have saved them from this matchup. Both sides have shown their capability of winning this double-legged tie but we would be going for a stalemate in the first leg.
