Toulouse vs PSG predictionsParis Saint-Germain routinely blew opponents away on their way to a historic treble of Ligue 1, Champions League and Coupe de France last season.They have had a more subdued start to the current campaign. After winning the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham Hotspur on penalties, PSG have beaten both Nantes and Angers 1-0 in Ligue 1.Their relatively slow beginning to 2025/26 is explainable. After going all the way in the Champions League last term, PSG almost immediately jetted off to the USA for the inaugural edition of the Club World Cup.They went on to reach the final of that competition, which meant their 2024/25 season ran from August 16 to July 13.PSG did not have time for a traditional pre-season this summer. They did not play any friendlies ahead of the Super Cup, which puts their below-par performance in Udines into context.Luis Enrique has essentially decided to use the first few weeks of 2025/26 as his team’s pre-season. By the time the Champions League gets under way in the middle of September, he will hope his team are ready to return to their top level.For now, it is all about getting minutes into the legs of as many players as possible. We have seen Luis Enrique shuffle his pack against both Nantes and Angers as PSG try to slowly find their rhythm.It is not necessarily a positive sign for French football that PSG feel able to use the first few weeks of the Ligue 1 campaign as a warm-up, but that is the reality of a competition in which one club is significantly wealthier than the rest.PSG had a remarkable 84 percent possession against Angers last Friday. Ousmane Dembele missed a penalty but Fabian Ruiz’s goal in the 50th minute gave the champions all three points. Although it was only a slender triumph, PSG never looked in danger of dropping points against opponents who did not manage a shot on target at the Parc des Princes. Still, Luis Enrique sees plenty of space for growth.“I think there are still a lot of things to improve,” he said after the game. “That’s my motivation as a coach; it’s something I try to pass on to my players, and there’s a lot of room for improvement, in many technical and tactical aspects.”Toulouse vs PSG betting tips. 18+ GambleAware.org – Please play responsibly.Toulouse vs PSG betting tipsPSG are widely expected to beat Toulouse on matchday three of the Ligue 1 campaign.Another narrow PSG win beckonsPSG are not the only Ligue 1 team boasting a 100 percent record after the first two rounds of fixtures.Lyon, Strasbourg and Toulouse also have six points to their name, so PSG should not expect to have everything their own way against the latter member of that trio.Toulouse have marginally improved their finishing position in Ligue 1 in each of the last three seasons following promotion in 2021/22. A push for Europe is not out of the question this year.PSG should get the job done again this weekend, but another narrow victory by a single-goal margin is a distinct possibility.You can back that outcome by making use of the Asian handicap market. Go for Toulouse +1.5 Asian handicap at 4/6 with Midnite Toulouse can hold on until half-timeToulouse have beaten Nice and Brest so far this month without conceding a single goal, although it is worth noting that both games were level at the break.Similarly, PSG needed second-half goals to make the breakthrough against both Nantes and Angers.Toulouse will aim to make life difficult for PSG in the opening 45 minutes in particular. With the Parisians still some way short of their fluid best, there is a good chance Toulouse will be successful.Luis Enrique’s men may have to wait until the second half before they can establish a lead at the Stadium de Toulouse.  Choose a draw at half-time at 6/4 with Ladbrokes Ramos a decent choice to scoreIt is difficult to predict PSG’s starting XI at the moment – and that in turn makes it tougher to anticipate who will score.In our calculation, it is worth a punt on Goncalo Ramos this weekend even though the Portugal international is not a first-choice pick.Dembele could begin this match on the bench after he played 81 minutes last time out. Or the Frenchman may move out wide, leaving space for Ramos up top.The former Benfica frontman is a useful plan B for PSG and Luis Enrique may turn to him on Saturday. If he does, Ramos will be desperate to make a positive impression.
