Toulouse v Paris FC: mid-table push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Toulouse host Paris FC in Ligue 1 on Saturday, 21 February 2026 at the Stadium de Toulouse, with the hosts chasing the top half and the visitors looking to pull further clear of the relegation play-off place.

Toulouse won the reverse fixture 3-0 in December and start 10th on 30 points. Paris FC arrive 15th with 22 points after one win, three draws and a heavy 5-0 defeat by Lens across their last five league games.

Recent momentum is mixed for the hosts: a 5-1 home win over Nice and a 2-0 success at Brest were followed by a draw with Auxerre and back to back defeats at Angers and Le Havre. Paris FC drew three in a row before Lens punished them, though they did win at Nantes in January.

Team news could matter. Toulouse are without suspended defender Mark McKenzie, while Alex Dominguez, Abu Francis, Rafik Messali and Ilyas Azizi are listed as injured. For Paris FC, Maxime Lopez is suspended, with Adama Camara and Rudy Matondo also banned. Remy Riou, Hamari Traore, Sofiane Alakouch, Pierre-Yves Hamel and Lamine Gueye are sidelined.

The match-up may pit Toulouse's compact shape against Paris FC's preference to keep the ball. The hosts have eight clean sheets, average 42% possession and have taken 208 shots with 46.63% accuracy. Paris FC average 54% possession and 86.40% pass completion but have conceded 39 league goals and given away 10 penalties. Yann Gboho leads Toulouse with six league goals, while Ilan Kebbal has eight for Paris FC.

A home win could move Toulouse into the top half. Victory for Paris FC would lift them to 25 points and could widen their cushion above the relegation play-off spot.
