Monaco backed to beat Toulouse and extend unbeaten Ligue 1 run

Published on: 08 October 2026

Monaco will host Toulouse in the sixth round of Ligue 1 on Saturday, 10 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 21:45 Moscow time.

The home side go into the fixture at the top of the French league after taking 13 points from their opening five matches. They have scored eight goals and conceded only three, remaining unbeaten in the process.

Monaco began the season with a 2-1 victory over Lens and followed it with a 2-1 win against Paris Saint-Germain. They then defeated Marseille 2-0 before recording a 1-0 success against Le Havre. Their only dropped points came in a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg.

That run has established Monaco as the clear favourites with bookmakers for the meeting with Toulouse. The club have also won seven of their past eight matches, underlining the strength of their current form.

Toulouse, by contrast, have collected five points from five games and sit 13th in the Ligue 1 table. They have scored seven goals while conceding nine, leaving them with a negative goal difference.

Their campaign started with defeats by Lyon and Lille, losing 2-0 and 1-0 respectively. Toulouse then drew 2-2 with Brest and 2-2 with Lorient before securing their only victory so far, a 3-2 win over Le Havre.

The visitors have won just one of their last eight matches. Their recent record is also weaker than Monaco’s, although the most recent meeting between the two clubs ended level.

That game finished 2-2, giving Toulouse reason to believe they can compete with the league leaders despite the difference in their respective starts to the season.

Monaco remain unbeaten after five rounds and have conceded fewer goals than any other side across the results listed. Toulouse, meanwhile, have taken only one win and have allowed nine goals.

Prediction

Monaco are considered the stronger team and are expected to claim victory at home. The predicted final score is Monaco 2-0 Toulouse.
