Monaco were desperately unlucky in their 0-0 draw with Tottenham in midweek. They battered their opponents, but Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made a string of sensational saves. Monaco’s players will be disappointed by the result, but they should return to winning ways this weekend. They’ve picked up three wins and a draw from four home games this season, and they should have enough quality to beat a distinctly average Toulouse team.
Monaco are one of the most exciting clubs to watch in all of France. they've seen a total of 30 goals over their opening eight Ligue 1 matches. While they have been excited, they haven't been very consistent, and they're already showing significant exhaustion from balancing Ligue 1 and UCL play. They will be playing three matches over a seven day spread. They draw Angers on Oct. 18, having Tottenham on the 22nd, and Toulouse on the 25. I expect Toulouse to take advantage of a tired Monaco side that will be on worse legs, even at home.
