Monaco vs Toulouse prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-10-24 17:00.
[p]Just a point separates Monaco and Toulouse in the top half of Ligue 1 ahead of this matchday-nine clash.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Monaco are two games into Sébastien Pocognoli’s reign and have drawn them both, including Wednesday’s goalless stalemate against Tottenham in the UEFA Champions League. That was their fourth consecutive draw in all competitions, with the Red and Whites unwantedly extending their winless run to five matches (D4, L1). Part of that dip in form ultimately cost Adi Hütter his job, while Monaco have dropped out of Ligue 1’s European qualification spots altogether, but the positive omen ahead of Pocognoli’s first league encounter in charge at Stade Louis II is that they are unbeaten in 12 at home in the league (W10, D2).[/p]
[p]Toulouse begin the weekend in eighth, a place below Monaco, but the mood around the club is almost wholly positive. Le TĂ©fĂ©cé’s points tally of 13 (W4, D1, L3) is their highest at this stage of any Ligue 1 campaign since 2016/17, and they are seven points better off when compared to this time last season. Carles MartĂnez Novell has delivered a style of play which has gone down well with the Toulouse hierarchy and fans alike, and he saw his side thrash ten-man Metz 4-0 last weekend to extend their unbeaten run to three games (W2, D1), with two away victories already recorded this term (L2). [/p]

[p]Eric Dier is set to miss out for Monaco, while Krépin Diatta is a doubt having been forced off against Spurs in midweek. Rafik Messali meanwhile could return from his injury lay-off for Toulouse.[/p]
