Team Analysis
Monaco
Last season, Monaco have had shown their almost flawless performance in order to reclaim the domestic league title from Paris Saint-Germain. The champs were able to tuck home massive goals of 107.
However, as Leonardo Jardim’s men take on the succeeding matches this term, the key figures that helped the team lift victory have now transferred to their respective new clubs. Among the list are Bernardo Silva, Tiemoue Bakayoko, and Kylian Mbappe.
Given this, Monaco might have some adjustments to do in order to replicate their successful chapter last term.
Toulouse
Toulouse, despite landing 3 spots below the mid-table last season, have displayed relatively good performance for making it far from the relegation threats.
Similar to Monaco, manager Pascal Dupraz had also a number of players that made a move away this summer such as Martin Braithwaite and Uros Spajic. However, new signings Yannick Cahuzac, Yaya Sanogo, and Steven Fortes are believed to best fit for the respective post.
Prediction
In hopes to beat the giant opposition, Toulouse are required to push beyond their limits and work harder in order to tame down the powerful Monaco. This will not be easy, but the visitors could stand a chance if manage to contain the men of Leonardo Jardim.
