Ligue 1 2025-2026: Monaco-Tolosa, the probable formations
Looking for important points to continue their march in the zone useful, at the end of the year, to qualify for the European cups, Monaco and Toulouse face each other Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Stade Louis II, in the heart of the Principality. The match, valid for the ninth day of the French top league, will be under the direction of referee Paradis.
Despite a change on the bench, with Adi Hütter giving way to Sebastien Pocognoli, Monaco have not been able to taste success for over a month: it was Sept. 21 when the Monegasques beat Metz 5-2, from there came the loss to Lorient and four draws in a row between the league and Champions League. To center forward Balogun, supported by the Akliouche, Fati and Golovin, the task of turning the tide.
On the other side there’s a Toulouse sailing enthusiastically in the noble part of the standings: the Ville Rose team beat Lyon 2-1 and Metz 4-0 in its last two games, with Donnum and Gboho, two-thirds of the likely starting attack in Monaco, scoring one goal apiece in the poker against the Grenadians. Up front there could also be room for Vignolo, who has been sparsely employed in previous matches.
Probable lineups:
MONACO (4-2-3-1): Kohn; Diatta, Kehrer, Salisu, Ouattara; Teze, Coulibaly; Akliouche, Fati, Golovin; Balogun. All. Pocognoli.
TOLOSA (3-4-3): Restes; Sidibe, Cresswell, Nicolaisen; Magri, Casseres, Francis, Methalie; Vignolo, Donnum, Gboho. All. Martinez Novell.
