With just one more game to go, there are four teams inside four points behind the top three and Monaco sits sixth in the table. The team has suffered a number of disappointing results lately against direct rivals and must be desperate to finish off the campaign with a win.
Even Monaco’s home form has been underwhelming over the final few weeks of the season as Philippe Clement’s men have won only two of their last six outings at Stade Louis II. In the last two home outings, Monaco hasn’t even scored a single goal and the attacking players clearly need to do better Saturday.
Despite the recent drought, Les Monegasques actually have the second-best attacking record in the league behind only PSG, and with a lot at stake in the match, Toulouse will need to work very hard to keep Monaco’s front-line in check and escape with a good result.
The Monaco attack is led by Wissam Ben Yedder and Breel Embolo, who have combined for 30 league goals this season. A 12-goal contribution marks Embolo’s best-ever effort in a single season, while Ben Yedder continues to perform at a very high level despite reaching veteran status as a 32-year-old.
Embolo and Aleksander Golovin scored in the reverse fixture to give Monaco a third straight victory in the head-to-head meetings. In fact, Toulouse is seven games without a win against Monaco since Martin Braithwaite inspired a 3-1 triumph in 2016.
Will the chance to end the seven-year streak without a win provide enough motivation for Toulouse to perform at their very best? The team hasn’t won any of its five games in the league since triumphing in the French Cup final at the end of last month Additionally, Toulouse has scored just once after tearing Nantes apart at Stade de France.
It’s been a great comeback season for Toulouse after the club returned to the top flight as the Ligue 2 winners just 12 months ago. Finishing it off with a big result would be very rewarding for manager Philippe Montanier and the players for all the hard work they have put in during the campaign.
