Toulouse FC secured safety last weekend with a 2-1 victory over relegation-threatened FC Lorient. In what was only ever a mathematical rather than a realistic threat to a club that have had a comfortable season, despite their European commitments stretching into February.
Despite this Carles Martínez Novell will be aware that European qualification still remains a remote possibility with only four points separating them from seventh (a position that could be good enough to secure European football if Paris Saint-Germain beat Olympique Lyonnais in the Coupe de France final).
It explains why there are only two changes to the side that beat Lorient as they attempt to keep their momentum into the final three games. Yann Gboho comes in for Aron Dønnum in attack, while Kévin Keben drops to the bench with Mikkel Desler making an appearance as a wing-back.
