Prediction: 2-2
Toulouse
Stade Louis II will host Saturday’s Ligue 1 game between Monaco and Toulouse, the two top-ten sides. Monaco aim to recover from a 2-1 defeat to Olympique Marseille and a win over Toulouse will see them stay in the Champions League berth. Both Breel Embolo and Takumi Minamino are pushing for a start, while the likes of Lamine Camara, Krepin Diatta, and Edan Diop remain in the recovery room.
Les Pitchouns, on the other hand, have recorded four wins in the previous five league matches. As Toulouse defeated Monaco in each of their previous two meetings between the two sides at Stade Louis II, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from the round 14 clash. Defender Rasmus Nicolaisen remains on the sidelines with injury, but the Denmark international should be the only absentee in the away team. You should know that over 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the previous six meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Player (Breel Embolo):
Born in Younde, Cameroon on February 14, 1997, Breel Embolo is a striker who plays for Bundesliga side Schalke 04. Embolo began his youth career at Nordstern back in 2008, but two years later he moved to Old Boys.
In 2010 the Switzerland international joined Basel and he continued playing for the RotBlau at senior level. After scoring 21 goals in 61 appearances for the club in the Swiss Super League, Breel Embolo signed a five-year deal with Schalke 04 in June, 2016 for a fee of €20 million.
The Schalke striker made his Bundesliga debut on August 27 in a 1-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt. Speaking of his international career, Breel Embolo has four caps for Switzerland U21 team and he made his senior debut on March 31, 2015 in a 1-1 draw with United States of America. Embolo is very powerful striker, he is technically strong, he has explosive pace and a composed finisher.
Highlighted Team (Toulouse):
Toulouse are a professional football club that compete in Ligue 1. Les Pitchouns are well known for their purple jerseys with white stripes and it has to be noted that they used to wear red and yellow jerseys in the past. Toulouse welcome their opponents at Stadium Municipal and the capacity of the team’s home ground is 33.150. Stadium Municipal was used as a venue for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
In 1982 the club secured promotion to the Ligue 1 for the first time ever and you should bear in mind that the likes of Jacques Santini and Daniel Jeandupeux were part of the team. A win over Napoli in the round 1 of the 1986/1987 UEFA Cup is considered one of the club’s biggest success as football legend Diego Maradona played for the Italian team back then, attacker Daniel Jeandupeux scored the winner for Toulouse in the penalty shoot-out. Bordeaux are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in Derby de la Garonne.
