On Wednesday evening, Toulouse host Pau at the Stadium de Toulouse, in a game that could be pivotal at both ends of the French Ligue 2 table.
Toulouse are third-place in the table, four points adrift of the final automatic promotion spot. However, this is their game in hand on second place Clermont, so a win would take the race for promotion to Ligue One to the final gameweek of the campaign.

The home side has been in decent form of late in the French second tier, as they have won four of their last six matches.
A 3-0 home win over Caen last time out means that Patrice Garande’s team has kept clean sheets in three of their last four league outings.
Toulouse are 12 games unbeaten on home soil in Ligue 2, having recorded an incredibly nine straight home wins in the second tier.
They have been formidable in defence at home in the league of late, having kept clean sheets in five of their last six outings.
While the home side is still in contention for promotion, Pau are just hoping to preserve their second-tier status in the French game this season.
The visitors have not been in terrible form of late, as a 1-0 defeat at Chambly last time out ended a nine-game unbeaten run in Ligue 2. Despite their recent decent league run, Pau are only two points clear of the relegation zone.
One major issue for Pau this season has been their away form in the French second tier, as they are winless in six matches on their travels in Ligue 2.
Their recent away games in the league have been low-scoring, as their previous four league matches on the road have produced under 2.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that Toulouse will boost their promotion hopes by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter to make things highly nervous for the visitors.
