Toulouse vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
Toulouse consistently picks up points against mid-table and lower-ranked Ligue 1 teams, but they generally struggle against the favorites. This season, they have lost to PSG (twice), Lyon, Lille, Marseille, and their upcoming opponent, Monaco. Additionally, Toulouse is currently on a four-match winless streak at home in the league, having secured just one draw and suffered three defeats during this stretch.
Monaco, on the other hand, has recently concluded their Champions League campaign and can now focus entirely on the league. The competition at the top of the table is fierce, so it is crucial for Monaco to avoid dropping points against mid-table teams and favorable opponents. Toulouse appears to be one of those opponents, as Monaco has not lost in their last five away league encounters against them (3 wins and 2 draws).
Considering all these factors, my prediction: Monaco with a handicap (0)
