AS Monaco vs. Toulouse Analysis
AS Monaco Facts To Know
A disappointing 2022-23 campaign comes to a close for Monaco this weekend. They could yet rescue their campaign by finishing in a European spot, but they will need to claim victory and hope that either Lille or Rennes fail to pick up maximum points. Interestingly, Monaco could yet finish in the Europa League spot, but they will need to beat Toulouse and hope Lille and Rennes are beaten on the final day.
However, Monaco will need to bounce back to form to achieve that finish, as they have gone three matches without a victory. They have also lost each of their last two in Ligue 1. Defensively, Monaco has had issues throughout their campaign, as they have allowed 31 goals at Stade Louis III. That is the highest that they have allowed in a top-flight campaign.
Toulouse Facts To Know
The pressure will be off the visiting side this weekend, as their top-flight status has already been assured. Toulouse currently sit 13th in the overall standings, and they could rise an additional place if they are able to claim victory on the final day. However, draws have been a recurring issue in recent weeks, as they come into this fixture having been held to ties in each of their last four Ligue 1 fixtures.
Their most recent Ligue 1 scores have seen them draw three of their last four by a 0-0 scoreline. Therefore, their effort in last week’s 1-1 draw against Auxerre is the only goal that they have scored in four outings. Meanwhile, that effort from Zakaria Abdoukhail is the only goal that Toulouse had scored in May.
