Monaco will be eager to keep their recent good form going until the end of the season despite having nothing left to play for.
They travel to Toulouse on the back of a six-match unbeaten run and keeping that going for the final two games of the campaign will add some gloss to an otherwise disappointing season.
The Monegasques, who had championship ambitions back in August, have endured a difficult year which has seen them bow out from the Champions League, the UEFA Cup and both domestic cup competitions, and also see head coach Didier Deschamps resign during the autumn.
His replacement, Francesco Guidolin, took over with the aim of boosting their French title chances but Monaco are now lying in 11th spot, out of reach of a European place.
Guidolin has also reportedly fallen out with Olivier Kapo and Eric Cubilier, both of whom could be sidelined for the clash in Toulouse.
On the injury front, the Italian boss is still deprived of midfielder Gerard (Achilles), midfielder Camel Meriem and goalkeeper Guillaume Warmuz (both knee), and midfielder Vassilis Zikos (groin) while Christian Vieri (ankle) is still getting treatment in Italy for his blow.
Toulouse coach Erik Mombaerts is expected to line up an attacking team to win their last home match of the season.
However, he will be deprived of striker Fode Mansare, who has not yet recovered from his sprained left ankle.
Defender Lucien Aubey is suffering from the same problem and is a doubt.
However Nicolas Dieuze, who was rested this week because of tiredness, is expected to be back in action. |
