Monaco vs Toulouse: Preview and Predictions

Monaco vs Toulouse
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, 29th April 2017
Kick off at 16:00 UK / 17:00 CET
Venue: Stade Louis II, Monaco.

Monaco were destroyed in the Coupe de France in mid-week by PSG as coach Louis Jardim purposely put out a very weakened squad. He did this as he believes his team must only concentrate on the league title and the upcoming Champions League semi-final tie against Juventus.

Now they have this opportunity to continue their title charge when they host Toulouse at home and will be the huge favourites to win this match. Monaco have the best home record in Ligue 1 with 43 points won from a possible 48 and have lost just once this season. They are averaging 3 goals a game at home.

Toulouse are safe on 42 points and recent form whilst not poor has been flat lining. They have just one win in their past five games. Their recent win over Montpellier was only their 2nd away win of the season. Incredibly they have scored just 7 goals all season on the road, along with Nancy this is the worst record in the league.

Monaco vs Toulouse: Head to Head Stats

Toulouse did beat Monaco earlier in the season 3-1 but in this fixture last season Monaco won 4-0. Monaco has scored 8 goals in their last two games at home to Toulouse. Both teams have scored in 3 of the last 4 fixtures either home or away.

Monaco vs Toulouse: Prediction

We’ll go as far as to say anything but a home win and this match goes down as the shock of the season. Monaco are too much odds on for the win but there are plenty of other markets available in a game that should be a stroll for the league leaders.
