Toulouse vs AS Monaco Prediction: Forget the Odds, Monaco isn't that Special.

Toulouse will play their final home game of the year against AS Monaco. They were held to a goalless draw by Stade Rennes last weekend and now they hope to end the year on a high when Monaco comes to visit. Toulouse have been on a disastrous run for quite some time and they are without a win in their last 9 league matches. A turnaround would be a huge relief for Toulouse but against such an opposition, their chances are slimmer than usual.

AS Monaco cannot afford to drop another point against Toulouse. They were completely stunned by Olympique Lyon last weekend as they lost 1:0. That result was a highlight of AS Monaco's general form this season. They have been plagued by inconsistent results and they need to fix it as soon as possible.

Can Toulouse poke the tiger here? It would be down to their confidence to make an attempt against AS Monaco considering their very poor form and the quality of the AS Monaco team. Toulouse have been on a terrible run for such a long time that even a win seems impossible to the team. In their last 9 league matches, they recorded 4 defeats and 4 draws. They are currently 15th on the league table with 14 points from 16 matches. And they have won only 2 games all season, along with 8 draws and 6 defeats.

Toulouse did one over AS Monaco last season when they visited the Stade Louis II and won 2:1. But they lost the reverse fixture at home by a 2:0 scoreline. As impossible as it sounds, Toulouse needs a win here or else they might be on their way to the Ligue 2 by the end of the season.

2 wins on a bounce and then a shocking defeat against Olympique Lyon at home don't speak well of AS Monaco. With the current state of the Lyon team, AS Monaco was expected to pull off an easy win or a draw at least, but they lost by a single goal from Jeffinho in the 85th minute. So, their current stats are 2 wins, 2 defeats, and 1 draw in their last 5 matches. At the moment, they occupy 3rd spot with 30 points from 16 matches. And their overall stats are 9 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

AS Monaco have a chance to set things right when they face Toulouse. And even though it's clear that they are favorites, they wouldn't want to take Toulouse for granted. For Toulouse, a draw would seem sufficient, but Monaco can't afford to drop more points and they need a win by all means necessary. They won the last fixture against Toulouse on this ground but lost the match at home, so caution is one thing AS Monaco needs to apply here.

AS Monaco won 11 of their last 20 matches against Toulouse. While Toulouse won 3, they played a draw 6 times.

There's a lot of anxiety in the Monaco camp right now. With Lille only 2 points behind, they are hanging on the ropes to retain the 3rd spot. So a win is a must for AS Monaco to put their minds to rest. And for Toulouse, it's another day in the office and their first objective would be to at least pick up a draw.

Both clubs have played less than 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 league matches. Toulouse have also seen less than 10.5 corners in their last 6 matches, while AS Monaco in 5 of their last 6.

Goals will decide the winner of this match and at the moment both clubs are struggling in that department. If AS Monaco is coming off with a win, it's going to be by a very narrow margin surely.
