Toulouse vs Monaco Prediction
Les Pitchouns have seen a drop in form recently, failing to score in three of their last five games across all competitions. They are unbeaten in their last four home games in all competitions, drawing three games in a row. They have just one win in their last 14 home games in Ligue 1, which is a cause for concern.
Carles Martínez Novell has a few absentees for the match as captain Vincent Sierro is suspended due to yellow card accumulation while Aron Donnum returns from a suspension of his own. Zakaria Aboukhlal and Mikkel Desler are injured while Niklas Schmidt misses out due to personal reasons.
Les Monégasques suffered their second defeat in four games on Saturday. It was just their second home loss of the season and they will look to return to winning ways. They have failed to score in two of their last four away games, scoring twice apiece in their last two games in their travels.
Adi Hütter remains without the services of Eliot Matazo, Breel Embolo, and Caio Henrique through injuries. Myron Boadu and Eliesse Ben Seghir are back in training and face a late fitness test but might not start here. Wilfried Singo and Denis Zakaria are suspended but Vanderson and Aleksandr Golovin return from suspensions.
Toulouse have drawn seven of their last nine home games in Ligue 1 and, considering the absentees for the two teams in this match, they might settle for a low-scoring draw.
