Having become rivals in the recent era of French football, Toulouse and Nantes meet again this Sunday to enter the competition in this new 2024-25 season. For the Canaries, this exercise is similar to a pivotal season after two disappointing years, where the club flirted with relegation.
“We are going into the unknown this year for the competition,” acknowledged Antoine Kombouaré. “As for our group, I know it, it is strong. Today, our players are not here by default. They are all happy to be here.”. The Nantes coach is, however, aware that this trip to Toulouse remains perilous. A former player of the house, Kombouaré will have to thwart the plans of a club that has managed to maintain itself relatively serenely since its promotion. The scene is set.
The expected compositions
Toulouse : Dominguez – Cresswell, Nicolaisen, Suazo – Kamanzi, Casseres, Sierro, Aboukhlal – Donnum, Magri, Ghobo.
Nantes : Lafont – Pallois, Castelletto, Meupiyou – Duverne, Chirivella, Assoumani, Amian – Abline, Mohamed, Thomas.
Where to watch the match?
This match between Toulouse FC and FC Nantes counting for the first day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast this Sunday on DAZN, from 5 p.m. It will also be possible to watch it on the group’s streaming platform.
