Monaco
After two consecutive victories in the league, Monaco suffered a 1-2 defeat against Marseille in the previous round. As a result, the club swapped places with their rivals in the Ligue 1 standings, dropping to third place, with the gap to the leader increasing to seven points. It's worth noting that Monaco has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five Ligue 1 matches, even though they previously shared the title of the most reliable defensive club in the tournament with PSG. Additionally, on home soil, the team has not lost in 12 of their last 13 league matches, securing eight wins.
- Both teams scored in 7 of Monaco's last 9 Ligue 1 matches.
- At least 3 goals were scored in 8 of the club's last 10 games in this tournament.
- The number "1" appeared in the final scoreline in 8 of Monaco's last 11 home league matches.
Toulouse
The team secured their fourth clean sheet victory in their last five Ligue 1 matches (1 loss) by defeating Auxerre 2-0 in the previous game. This successful run has propelled Toulouse to 10th place in the elite French division standings, reducing the gap to the European competition zone to just two points. It's also worth mentioning that Carles Martinez's side now has a positive goal difference in the current championship, with their stats at 15:14.
- One opponent failed to score in Toulouse's last 5 Ligue 1 matches.
- The team found the back of the net in 7 of their last 8 French league games.
- The club's uncompromising away streak in the top French league stands at 5 matches (2 wins, 3 losses).
Monaco vs. Toulouse: Match Prediction
Monaco will undoubtedly be determined to claim all 3 points in the upcoming match after their defeat in the last round, which dropped them to third place in the standings. However, I don't think this encounter will be easy for the hosts. Firstly, Toulouse is on the rise, having won 4 of their last 5 Ligue 1 matches, all with clean sheets. Secondly, the team has defeated Monaco at their stadium in the last two head-to-head encounters in the French championship.
Therefore, I won't attempt to predict the outcome but will focus on the total goals. In the last 5 head-to-head matches at Monaco's ground in Ligue 1, both teams scored, with at least 3 goals in each. Moreover, the visitors have been strong in attack recently, scoring in 7 of their last 8 league games. Monaco, meanwhile, has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 5 matches in this tournament. As for the hosts' powerful attack, it's a given that the club from the principality is known for its prolific play, and I'm confident in their ability to score.
Therefore, I believe the upcoming opponents will exchange goals. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
