Before the start of the season, these teams gave out a real scoring extravaganza in a friendly match – Toulouse won with a score of 5:4. In the championship, such a picture is unlikely to happen. Both teams are in the middle of the standings. Montpellier has been playing successfully with the Toulouse team in recent years, but pleasant series tend to end. On the road in recent months, the "paladins", as a rule, play unsuccessfully. Here it is quite possible to take a chance and play for a head-on draw.
