Next Friday, Toulouse faces Dunkirk for a match on the first day of Ligue 2. The two teams will want to win to start well in this championship.
Completely at the pickup last year in Ligue 1, Toulouse was logically demoted to Ligue 2 despite the interruption of the season in France. Indeed, the players of the Pink City had won only 3 successes in 28 games for 21 losses. Moreover, before the season was definitively stopped, they had lost 18 times in 19 games in all competitions. Toulouse will, therefore, have to react this season. To prepare, the TFC played 4 friendly matches. After being held in check by Sète (3-3), Pau (2-2), and Bordeaux (0-2), he lost to Niort last weekend (1-2).
For its part, Dunkirk showed itself to its advantage last year in the National 1 championship where it occupied 2nd place in the standings before the season was definitively stopped. This has allowed players from the North to access Ligue 2 with a small point ahead of the neighbor Boulogne. In preparation, the promoted were first hooked by Reims (1-1), Chambly (2-2), and Quevilly-Rouen (2-2) before gaining the upper hand over Saint-Omer (0-3) and Boulogne sur Mer (3-1) last Saturday.
Toulouse logically saw several of its executives leave after the descent. Also, the holders Vainqueur (return from loan), Sanogo (without a club), Dossevi (without a club), Boigard (Lorient), Isimat-Mirin (return from loan), Gradel (Sivasspor) and Reynet (Nîmes) left. In the opposite direction, goalkeeper Dupé (Nantes) and a former Dutch U17 international midfielder, van den Boomen (De Graafschap) arrived.
In Dunkirk, the top scorer last year, the center forward Bayo (12 goals) returned to Clermont. On the other hand, the very good Bosca (11 goals) and Boudaud (9 goals) are still very present. Note the arrivals of Kektophomphone (Cholet) Kebbal (Reims) and Cissé (Angers). During the preparation, striker Rocheteau suffered a rupture of the cruciate ligaments and will be absent for several months.
Toulouse: Goicoechea – Amian, Gabrielsen, Diakité, Diarra – Sangaré, Koné, van den Boomen – Ngoumou, Leya Iseka, Antiste
Dunkirk: Maraval – Gomis, Cisse, Sy, Thiam – Kerrouche, Pierre, Bosca, Kebbal – Ketkeophomphone, Bruneel.
Coaches have the possibility of making 5 substitutions during the game.
This meeting will take place with a limited number of spectators (5000).
Stripped of its best elements this summer, Toulouse has everything to rebuild. Faced with a Dunkirk team that has nothing to lose, the Violets could lose entry points in this meeting. Draw or win Dunkirk!
