Toulouse vs. AS Roma Analysis
Toulouse Pre-Season Update
Les Violets will be making their final preparations ahead of the forthcoming Ligue 1 season this weekend as they look to build on a respectable 13th place in the French top-flight last term.
They were one of the most exciting teams to watch in France last season, but fans will be hoping that they are slightly more challenging to play against, as they conceded 57 goals in the domestic competition.
However, there will also be high hopes ahead of the 2023-24 season, as the French club will be playing in the Europa League for the first time. Toulouse saved many of their best performances throughout the season for the Coupe de France, which they landed victory in following a 5-1 final success over Nantes.
Top scorer Thijs Dallinga was their star man after scoring 18 goals in all competitions, and the fact that he has remained at the club this summer would be a huge plus for their prospects.
AS Roma Pre-Season Update
Jose Mourinho will be preparing for his third season at AS Roma this term, and there will be pressure on the club to finally return to the Champions League.
Despite putting themselves in an excellent position to secure that finish, they eventually finished Serie A in sixth and were beaten in the final of the Europa League. However, Mourinho has been backed by the board throughout this summer, with Houssem Aouar and Evan Ndicka among the big names that have been brought in.
Roma’s pre-season fixtures have been impacted, as they were scheduled to play six matches, but they have only been able to complete three. But, they are unbeaten throughout pre-season and were excellent 4-2 winners in their previous match against Farense.
This could be among the key soccer matches today, as Roma could be an outside chance in the race for the Serie A title in 2023-24.
