Toulouse v Auxerre: top-half push meets relegation fight | OneFootball

Toulouse host Auxerre in Ligue 1 at Stadium de Toulouse on Sunday, 1 February 2026, with the hosts chasing a top-half push and the visitors trying to climb out of the bottom two.

Toulouse start eighth on 29 points, while Auxerre are 17th with 12 and in the relegation places. The reverse fixture finished 1-0 to Auxerre in September.

Form points to momentum for the hosts. Toulouse have won four of their past five league games, including back-to-back victories over Nice and Brest. Auxerre have lost five on the spin in all competitions, most recently falling 1-0 to Paris Saint-Germain.

Availability could matter. Toulouse list injuries to Frank Magri, Abu Francis, Dayann Methalie and Ilyas Azizi. Auxerre are without Francisco Sierralta and Rudy Matondo through injury, and Marvin Senaya is suspended.

Routes to goal look contrasting. Toulouse have scored 31 league goals at 1.6 per game with seven clean sheets this season, and could lean on Yann Gboho's six-goal threat and Aron Donnum's supply (three assists, per the league rankings). Auxerre have 14 scored and 29 conceded, with Lassine Sinayoko on six goals. With 304 aerial duels won to Auxerre's 237, the hosts may look to profit from sustained crossing.

A home win would move Toulouse to 32 points and could nudge them towards the European places. Victory for Auxerre would take them to 15 points and could lift them into the relegation play-off spot.
