Monaco – Toulouse: 29th April 2017

Monaco News:

AS Monaco occupies the leader league in Ligue 1, with 80 points gathered in 33 rounds. Thus, Jardim’s students have an important advantage over the main pursuer, PSG, Etienne will have a decisive effect on the final hierarchy. Even so, the Monegasks sacrificed the French Cup semifinals in front of PSG, drastically losing 0-5, in a duel where Jardim used young, inexperienced players or who came from the second team. Consequently, the fruits of this move should appear on Saturday night at “Stade Louis II”, where everyone is waiting for a comfortable home win.

Absent in displacements

Toulouse is ranked 11th in the Ligue 1 standings, with 42 points scored after 33 rounds. Therefore, Pascal Dupraz’s band was out of focus in this season’s final, positioning itself in the middle of the hierarchy with only a few rounds before the end of the season. However, this is largely due to Toulouse’s very good track record on his own, as “Les Pitchouns” proved to be mediocre on foreign ground, where they only scored two wins in 17 games.
