Monaco
Adi Hütter's side confidently defeated Reims 3-0 in their last league match. However, the team still lacks stability, having secured four wins and suffered three losses in their last seven Ligue 1 encounters. Monaco has 43 points and is in 4th place, with a two-point lead over their closest rival.

Toulouse vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
Toulouse regularly picks up points against mid-table and lower-tier Ligue 1 teams but generally struggles to surprise the favorites. In the current championship, they have lost to PSG (twice), Lyon, Lille, Marseille, and their upcoming opponent. Toulouse is also on a four-match winless home streak in the league, securing just one draw and suffering three losses during this period.
Monaco recently concluded their Champions League campaign and can now fully focus on the league. The battle at the top of the table is intense, so it's crucial for Monaco not to drop points against mid-table teams and favorable opponents. Toulouse appears to be one of those, as Monaco is unbeaten in their last five away head-to-head meetings in Ligue 1 (3 wins and 2 draws).
Considering all these factors, my prediction: Monaco with a handicap (0)
