When Monaco visits Toulouse on Friday night, they want to make consecutive Ligue 1 victory. Currently fourth in the Ligue 1 rankings, the visitors will enter the encounter off the back of a 3-0 success over Reims; last time out, eighth-placed Toulouse was a 4-0 winner over Angers.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

Between January 12 and February 15, Toulouse went six games without a victory in Ligue 1, picking up only three points during a disappointing stretch; however, they have rebounded with two outstanding triumphs on their travels.

With 33 points from 24 games, Carles Martinez's team overcame Le Havre 4-1 on February 23 before scoring a 4-0 triumph over Angers last time out, ranking ninth in the Ligue 1 league.

Le Tef is only six points behind Lyon, the team aiming to guarantee European football for just the third time in its existence. Another Friday night victory would send a strong message.

While Monaco has had problems on their travels, taking 14 points from 11 matches, Toulouse has had mixed success on home ground this season, winning four, drawing three, and losing five of their twelve matches to gather 15 points.

Les Violets won two of their past four Ligue 1 games against Monaco, yet it was 2-0 for the principality squad when the two teams locked horns for the opposite game earlier this season.

Following a 3-0 victory against Reims, Monaco will enter this game off the back of their result, which will place them in fourth place in the Ligue 1 league, accumulating 43 points from their 24 games during the 2024–25 season.

Adi Hutter's team lie three points behind third-placed Nice and six behind Marseille in second, but they are a significant 19 points off the leaders Paris Saint-Germain, who looks likely to romp away with the title this year.

Having placed second in Ligue 1 last season, the Red and White Champions League trip came to an end in the playoff elimination stage with a 4-3 overall loss against Benfica.

Monaco just has the league to concentrate on for the rest of the year. They will most definitely be vying for the runner-up position once again, but they are also only six points clear of seventh-placed Strasbourg.

Since October 2016, the principality side has been undefeated against Toulouse away from home; their past two losses against Friday's opponent in France's top level actually occurred on home ground.

Toulouse x Monaco Team News

On Friday, Toulouse will again be without the services of Guillaume Restes, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Niklas Schmidt and Zakaria Aboukhlal; Josh King remains a question owing to a calf issue.

Though the hosts have not mentioned any additional problems from their encounter against Angers last time out, the way the performance went would not be surprising to see the same XI come to the field tonight.

Shavy Babicka is Toulouse's top striker in terms of the players now on hand; he will seek to add to the four goals he has netted this season in Friday's duel, with seven-goal Aboukhlal sidelined.

Regarding Monaco, Denis Zakaria will miss the game on suspension; Aleksandr Golovin, Folarin Balgyn, Jordan Teze, and Soungout Magassa remain in question for the league game.

Though there is optimism that the 22-year-old will be able to overcome the problem that resulted in his being replaced in the lineup, the visitors might also be without Mika Biereth. Last time out, he scored a hat trick against Reims to move onto 10 goals in 10 outings for the club.

According to reports, Lamine Camara is of interest to as many as 11 teams, including Chelsea and Manchester City; the 21-year-old should play in the center of the Monaco midfield in this game.
