Toulouse v Monaco

Toulouse vs Monaco Preview

Toulouse will return to the home surroundings of their Stadium de Toulouse for Friday night's encounter against Monaco in confident mood as the upcoming hosts have recently posted back-to-back wins away from home in Ligue 1 at the likes of Le Havre and Angers respectively, and now Carles Martínez's side will now be going in search of a third win on the bounce.

Monaco also registered all three points in last Friday night's action in the French top flight as they produced a 3-0 home win against Reims which helped the visitors up into fourth place in the Ligue 1 table and now just three points behind Nice and a place in the top three pack of the division.

Toulouse have now climbed up into eighth place in the Ligue 1 table as a result of their two wins on the trot but despite holding home advantage here on Friday night, the hosts may have their work cut out if they are to make it three victories on the bounce.

The hosts have managed to capture just two wins from their last eight matches overall whilst also being involved in three draws and three defeats as well, so the prospects of a home win this Friday night for Toulouse does seem to hang in the balance, especially as each of the three recent losses were incurred on home soil at their Stadium de Toulouse following defeats at the hands of Strasbourg, Montpellier and PSG.

Six of Toulouse's last 10 home games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Monaco secured a fourth league win in six games in Ligue 1 after recording a comprehensive 3-0 home win against Reims which followed on from collecting useful and important victories against the likes of Rennes, Auxerre and Nantes respectively.

However, Monaco's recent results have been a rather mixed bag as the visitors have managed to claim just four wins from their last 10 matches overall in the French top flight which also includes slipping to four defeats and being involved in two draws as well.

Interestingly, each of Monaco's recent four wins have all been achieved on home soil at their Stade Louis-II where Adi Hütter's side have suffered just two defeats throughout the whole of this season's Ligue 1 campaign, while results away from home have not been quite as consistent.

Indeed, Monaco have managed to pick up just the one win from their previous eight outings on the road overall in Ligue 1 along with being dealt no fewer than five losses along the way as well, but goals for both sides looks likely as no fewer than eight of Monaco's last 10 away games have resulted in both teams scoring.
