Monaco vs Toulouse prediction 10.10.2026 | Ligue 1

Last season was one of Monaco's worst in the previous decade. They finished seventh in Ligue 1 and are hoping for a much better 2026/27 campaign. Monaco were excellent in recent weeks, with four wins and one draw, and are currently top of the table with two points more than Paris FC and Lyon, while the country's strongest team, PSG, trails by five points. In the most recent outing, Monaco won 2-1 at home against Lens. The hosts were the better side and deserved all three points, but eventually, they needed good fortune and Jonathan Gradit's own goal late in the match to seal the victory.  

Monaco's Paris Brunner, who already scored four goals this season, will serve a suspension on Saturday against Toulouse. After scoring against Strasbourg, the striker made a throat-slicing gesture toward away fans and was punished by the disciplinary commission. In his absence, Folarin Balogun, who appeared in only 14 minutes this season due to a knee injury, will start. 

Mamadou Coulibaly and Stanis Idumbo will miss the upcoming Ligue 1 round due to injuries, while Aleksandr Golovin is questionable. 

Toulouse are one of the most stable mid-table teams in recent years, and they are aiming for a similar 2026/27 campaign. The opening four rounds weren't encouraging, but in the previous game, they beat Le Havre 3-2 at home. However, the hosts didn't impress that time either, as the visitors finished with higher xG and more shots on goal. Now, Toulouse travel to the Ligue 1 leaders and will need to show much more defensively to secure points at Stade Louis II. 

Toulouse's captain missed the previous two matches due to a calf injury, and it seems the reliable center-back will skip the trip to Monaco, too. In his absence, Seny Koumbassa should continue to start alongside Mark McKenzie. The good news is that Abu Francis has recovered and should be an option for midfield.
