Paris Saint Germain (PSG) is set to face Toulouse in an anticipated Ligue 1 matchup at the Parc des Princes in Paris. Scheduled for May 12, 2024, this game promises to be a crucial encounter for both teams as they strive for supremacy in the French top-flight league.

However, a surprising draw against LE Havre shows that PSG can be unpredictable.
On the other hand, Toulouse's recent form has been equally inconsistent. Their last ten games in Ligue 1 feature a series of wins, draws, and losses. Notable results include a win against Lorient and Clermont Foot, showcasing their potential to clinch victories away and at home. Their defeat against Montpellier and a draw against Marseille, however, signal some vulnerabilities that PSG might exploit.

Betting tip: Based on the recent form of both teams, over 2.5 goals is a likely outcome. PSG has a high-scoring habit, especially in home games, and Toulouse's recent fixtures have also seen a fair share of goals. Both teams to score could be a viable option given Toulouse's offensive capabilities, but PSG's stronger form and home advantage lean towards a comfortable win for the Parisians with a -1.5 Asian Handicap for PSG being another promising bet.
