Level on six points: Le Mans and Toulouse both still without a league clean sheet
Le Mans host Toulouse in Ligue 1 on Friday. Both sides have six points from six games and neither has a league clean sheet yet this season.
By FootieRadar Desk · Published · 2 min read
Le Mans and Toulouse arrive on identical league records: six points, one win, three draws and two defeats from six Ligue 1 matches each. Neither side has kept a clean sheet this season, so both defences are still waiting for their first.
Kick-off at MMArena is 9:45pm Kenya time on Friday 16 October, with Aurelien Petit refereeing. Le Mans come in off a 1-3 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain on 10 October.
Two records, one table
Le Mans sit 14th and Toulouse 15th, but the two sides are level on points and goal difference. Le Mans have scored 10 and conceded 12 in the league, while Toulouse have scored nine and conceded 11. Both carry a goal difference of -2, so the table separates them by position alone.
Across their last five matches in all competitions, both sides have won one, drawn two and lost two. Le Mans have scored seven and conceded nine, and their only win in that run was a 2-1 home victory over Lorient on 19 September. Toulouse have scored nine and conceded 10.

Le Mans without Bourabaa
Le Mans are missing five players. A. Bourabaa is out with an ankle injury, E. Colas and M. Rossignol are injured, and T. Eyoum and E. Quarshie are absent by coach's decision. Bourabaa is their second-highest league scorer with three goals and two assists, so his absence costs them a real part of the attack. L. Mafouta, on four league goals, remains their top scorer.
Toulouse have struggled to score
The data lists no absences for Toulouse. C. Tengstedt leads their league scoring with four goals and one assist, and T. Jørgensen has two goals and one assist. The problem is finishing chances: Toulouse have failed to score in two of six league matches, while Le Mans have failed to score in none.
What the numbers say
The betting market favours Toulouse. At the time of writing, Pinnacle's odds with the bookmaker's margin removed put Toulouse at 43%, Le Mans at 30% and a draw at 27%. That is the market's view, calculated from the odds, not our opinion.
The records point to two sides with similar problems. Toulouse's only league win came at home against Le Havre, and their last two away games, at Lorient and Monaco, both ended 2-2. Le Mans' other home result in that run was a 2-2 draw with Lens. The market leans towards Toulouse, but both teams have identical league records over six games, so that lean rests on a small sample.
