Toulouse hosts Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday, for the 5th day of the Europa League group stage. Here are the likely lineups, channel and stream.
Two days before the end of the Europa League group stage, Toulouse has still not given up hope of reaching the next round. And for good reason, since the Carles Martinez men occupy second place in group E, two points behind Liverpool who they beat on the last day (3-2), but above all three points ahead of their direct pursuer, Union Saint -Gilloise. And it is precisely the Belgian club which faces them on Thursday evening, as part of the fifth day of the competition.
In the first leg, Toulouse went for a draw in Belgium (1-1). This time, he obviously hopes to do much better at home. His future in the competition could well depend on it. THE Violets should be organized in 4-4-1-1, with Dallinga up front and Schmidt just behind him. Sierro will play his role as captain in midfield, while the French goalkeeper, Remains, will of course start. On the opposing side, Union SG will offer a 3-5-2 with the offensive duo Amoura-Nilsson. Lapoussin and Castro-Montes will take care of the corridors.
The probable compositions
Toulouse: Remains – Desler, Cota, Nicolaisen, Diarra – Dönnum, Sierro, Casseres, Suazo – Schmidt – Dallinga
Union Saint-Gilloise: Moris – MacAllister, Burgess, Machida – Castro-Montes, Lazare Amani, Vanhoutte, Puertas, Lapoussin – Nilsson, Amoura
