AS Monaco vs Toulouse Prediction: AS Monaco want revenge for last season.

AS Monaco lack the consistency of a top team fighting to end in the prestigious side of the table. Their last victory over OGC Nice made little impact on the club's position due to the lack of consistent results that had plagued the team for weeks. It's one thing AS Monaco would be hoping to fix as they approach the games from this point. Next up for Monaco is a visit from Toulouse.

Toulouse can not be considered a serious club with their current run of results. They have been woeful in the last 2 weeks. During that time, they managed only 1 win in 4 matches. Toulouse are coming into the game against AS Monaco as huge underdogs and unless they have a bright plan, they might just be set up for another defeat once again.

AS Monaco

AS Monaco can't be proud of their performances over the last couple of weeks and for a club of their stature, a response is of great importance. Their last 4 matches in all competitions ended in 2 draws, 1 defeat and 1 win. The defeat against Rouen in the Coup de France round of 16 has to go down as a shock for the club. Although they managed to get back to winning ways in their next game against OGC Nice last weekend, they are still far off the mark.

AS Monaco had a thrilling battle with OGC Nice as they beat them 3-2 in full time away from home. Denis Zakaria was in top form as he scored a brace for Monaco, while Aleksandr Golovin also netted once. And for OGC Nice, Gaëtan Laborde and Evan Guessand scored both goals but they lost the game at the end. 

Wissam Ben Yedder failed to find the back of the net in the game against OGC Nice, but he's surely one to put an eye on in this game. Ben Yedder has 11 goals in 20 Ligue 1 matches for AS Monaco this season. He has an Expected Goals xG of 5.79 and averages 0.6 goals per game. He also averages 0.9 shots on target per game. 

AS Monaco are in 3rd place on the table with 38 points from 21 matches played.

Toulouse

Toulouse would need a miracle to pull off a shock against AS Monaco in this game. At the moment, their form is woeful and they might be deep in the relegation zone pretty soon if their performances stays like this. Toulouse managed to get 1 win in their last 4 matches in all competitions. And their last game against Nantes ended in a defeat at home.

Toulouse were left disappointed with the result from the game against Nantes last weekend. They were clearly the better team on the pitch, but the results just didn't go their way at the end. They conceded the opening goal from Mostafa Mohamed in just 2 minutes into the game and then the second goal in the 51st minute from Tino Kadewere. With little time left on the clock, Toulouse were able to get 1 goal back through Thijs Dallinga in the 96th minute. Toulouse had 74% possession throughout the game and registered 3 shots on target. 

Toulouse now face a tough battle as they travel to the Stade Louis II to face AS Monaco. They had a good game the last time they visited the Stade Louis II as they came off with a 2-1 win last year. 

And on the table, Toulouse are in 14th spot with 20 points from 21 games.

Head to Head

AS Monaco have beaten Toulouse 11 times in their last 20 meetings against each other. Toulouse won only 3 times and they drew 6 times.
