After beating Rennes (3-1), Toulouse awaits OM. Beaten at the Vélodrome at the end of January, the Violets will have revenge to take in front of their public, Sunday February 19 for the 24th day of Ligue 1.
Crowned with their first victory against a team from the Top 5, Sunday against Rennes (3-1) and their status as the best attack among the five major European championships, the TFC is in its most sparkling form this season, at the time of welcome Olympique de Marseille on Sunday 19 February.

What to believe in a new exploit, if indeed it is still an exploit, against a team which had blown up the Violets at the end of January at the Vélodrome (6-1) by being ultra-realistic. “Beating Rennes is a good way to preparing for the OM match, we have even more confidence,” said Anthony Rouault.
“Marseille is a steamroller”
The Marseille level still seems a little higher than that reached last weekend against Stade Rennais; if the Violets are in good shape, the Olympians are just as good. Since the meeting against Tef, Marseille have won 16 points out of a possible 21 (beaten by Nice and held in check by Monaco), and have just eliminated Paris from the Coupe de France. “Marseille is a real steamroller, warns Philippe Montanier.

Especially since Igor Tudor’s men could also have a good shot to play next Sunday at 8:45 p.m. While PSG will host Lille at 1 p.m., Alexis Sanchez and company, currently second 5 points behind the Parisians, could continue to put pressure on them before… receiving them at the Vélodrome the following week.
revenge
On the side of the Stadium, we continue to talk about maintenance, and the objective is within reach.

REACTIONS. Ligue 1: “I feel at home now!” Thijs Dallinga, TFC scorer against Rennes, relishes his efficiency
Against OM, Rouault and his teammates can afford not to count, and that’s important. Because this game is something else. A matter of pride. If the Lot-et-Garonne defender talks about “revenge to be taken” following the first leg, he also knows better than anyone what beating Marseille means for a Toulouse supporter. In a Stadium that promises to be incandescent and not necessarily as blue and white as during the last clashes between the two clubs, the TFC will be on a mission. And in case of victory, his season will really switch to another dimension.
