The home side set to lose again
Toulouse successfully advanced to the last 16 of the Europa League on Thursday night. However, they once again failed to replicate that form to domestic action. A 0-0 home draw with Rennes extended their winless run in Ligue 1 to nine games.
Monaco have used their non-participation in European competition to good effect this season.
Riding high in 3rd place, their Friday night home fixture against the relegation-threatened Lyon represented a big chance to move into 2nd. It was also an opportunity to put more pressure on leaders PSG. The visitors had other plans and pulled off a shock win.
Adi Hütter’s side are the worthy odds-on favourite to bounce back and win this match. The odds are too short to use the 1X2 market in my predictions. Instead, I will start my tips with Monaco -1 Asian Handicap, meaning we need them to win by two or more goals for this to be a winner. Should they win by exactly one goal, we will receive a full refund of our stake.
Bet 1: Monaco -1 Asian Handicap @ 2.33 with Bet9ja
Monaco aim to take pole position and stay there
It is rare to see Monaco draw a blank, as was the case on Friday. We should expect a reaction in this clash. This is the last match before the winter break. Les Rouges et Blancs can’t afford to return any further behind PSG, than the seven-point gap that already separates them.
The hosts have struggled with the added burden of European football. This could be exploited here, especially after a flurry of games. Looking at this season’s Ligue 1 stats, six of Monaco’s eight road games have seen the half-time result replicated at the full-time whistle. The same trend occurred in five of Toulouse’s seven home games.
Bet 2: Monaco/Monaco in Half Time/Full Time @ 2.67 with Bet9ja
Monaco’s lovin Aleksandr to make an impact
Monaco felt the absence of Aleksandr Golovin during the defeat to Lyon on Friday night. His return from suspension will give the visitors a much-needed boost for this clash at the Stadium Municipal.
The dynamic forward has five goals and two assists to his name from 14 league outings this term. Looking at the head-to-head stats, we can also see the 27-year-old likely has fond memories of his last appearance here. He scored the opening goal for his side in a 2-0 win in this fixture last season.
Bet 3: Aleksandr Golovin to score @ 3.40 with bet365
Cards to be handed out before the Christmas break
In the French top flight this season, these two sides rank first and second for yellow cards received, respectively. Toulouse have accumulated 41 at an average of 2.56 per game. Monaco have been issued 38 yellow cards at 2.38, along with one red card on their record.
Although referee Jérôme Brisard isn’t prolific with the cards, he may have no option here. Toulouse have seen over 4.5 cards land in four of their last five league games. Similarly, Monaco have seen it in four of their last six.
Bet 4: Over (4.5) Over/Under Cards @ 2.24 with Bet9ja
