Monaco face off with Toulouse in a Ligue 1 game at the Stade Louis II this Sunday.
Monaco are currently in third place in the table, and a win here could take them above Nice and into second place. Toulouse, meanwhile, are down in 14th, and are only one place above the relegation play-off spot.
Can Monaco continue to chase their UEFA Champions League goal with a win here, or will Toulouse haul themselves to a safe place?
Monaco vs Toulouse Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Monaco have been generally the dominant side in recent games against Toulouse. They have won four of their last six meetings with this weekend’s visitors, although it is notable that Toulouse were able to win in their last visit to the Stade Louis II in a game last June.
- Monaco’s last win was their first in Ligue 1 since December 20, but it was also a big one. They defeated fellow UEFA Champions League contenders Nice 2-3, with a late winner from Russian international Aleksandr Golovin.
- Toulouse’s form has been up and down in recent games, and that trend followed last weekend as they followed an impressive 2-3 win over Reims with a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Nantes.
- Toulouse’s European dreams may well be over too, as they fell to defeat at the hands of Benfica in the first leg of their Europa League knockout play-off tie this Thursday. However, by scoring an away goal, they have given themselves some hope.
- With 40 goals to their name, Monaco have outscored all of the other Ligue 1 sides barring Paris St. Germain this season. 11 of those goals have come from veteran striker Wissam Ben Yedder.
Monaco vs Toulouse Prediction
Monaco will be hopeful of a win here based on several factors, including their good recent form, Toulouse’s midweek loss making them tired, and their opponents’ up-and-down form in general.
However, the away side will be buoyed by the fact that Monaco will be missing both Wissam Ben Yedder and Aleksandr Golovin, with both forwards suspended.
Despite this, Monaco should still have enough firepower to get past Toulouse here, as the visitors haven’t been too potent in front of goal in their own right. Therefore, a home win is the likely outcome.
Prediction: Monaco 3-0 Toulouse
