Football Odds

Toulouse vs Amiens Odds

Toulouse are big favourites against their lower-tier opposition, priced up at 1/4 for the win. The draw is a 4/1 shot, while Amiens are 9/1 to clinch a massive upset.

This favouritism is expected to result in a high-scoring game, too, with over 2.5 goals a 4/7 chance and the other side of the bet is 5/4. Both teams to score is priced at even money, with both teams not to score at 8/11.

Toulouse/Toulouse half-time/full-time result @ 4/5 

Toulouse are just two points off a top-five position in Ligue 1 following their draw against Auxerre on Sunday, and they look justified favourites to see off the struggling Amiens.

Wednesday's visitors, who sit in the bottom three in Ligue 2, have lost their last two away games and have only won one of their last five home and away.

Of their three defeats in this period, they have been trailing at the break in two of them, and Toulouse are expected to make another fast start at the Stadium de Toulouse.

They have scored four first-half goals in their last three matches and have been leading at both half-time and full-time in two of those, so back them to put this tie to bed early.

Bet Builder - Both teams to score: No & Santiago Hidalgo to score @ 3/1

Toulouse kept their second successive clean sheet in their draw with Auxerre on Sunday, and they should produce another shutout against an Amiens side that have scored only one goal in their last three games.

One home player primed to make an impact is attacker Santiago Hidalgo.

The 20-year-old Argentine has scored all five of his season goals in his last nine appearances, earning him a decent run in Toulouse's starting lineup.

He scored in Toulouse's Coupe de France success against Angers in the last round and followed it up with a brace against Nice, so he can punish the out-of-form Amiens.
