Toulouse vs AS Monaco Best Pick, Prediction and Odds
Bet Toulouse at +400. The bet holds down to +226.
DraftKings has AS Monaco at -165, the draw at +340 and Toulouse at +400. With the book’s margin of 5.0% removed, that is 59.3% for Monaco, 21.6% for the draw and 19.0% for Toulouse. Our number gives Monaco 42.3%, the draw 23.4% and Toulouse 34.3%.
The gap on Toulouse is 15.3 points. The draw is 1.8 points above the market and Monaco 17.0 below. An outcome is a bet when our chance is 5 points or more above the market’s, and the widest gap wins. Toulouse clear it by 10.3 points.
Our number still has Monaco as the more likely winner. The bet is on the price: +400 pays as if Toulouse win 19.0% of the time, and our number has them at 34.3%.
How the number is built
One clause: each side’s expected goals are its scoring rate at the venue times the opponent’s conceding rate at the other venue, both measured against the league average, and a Poisson distribution, the standard count model for goals, turns the two figures into home, draw and away chances.
Both sides take last season’s numbers. Monaco have played 2 home games this season and Toulouse 2 away games, and the method needs 6 at the venue before it uses this season. So Monaco’s number comes from their 17 home games of 2025-26 and Toulouse’s from their 16 away games, each against that season’s league averages: 1.59 goals a game for the home side and 1.24 for the visitor, over 305 games. ESPN’s 2025-26 table has Toulouse on 33 games, not 34, which is why their away sample is 16.
Monaco went 10-2-5 at home last season, scoring 1.94 a game and conceding 1.35. Toulouse went 6-2-8 away, scoring 1.38 and conceding 1.38. Against the averages, Monaco scored at 1.22 times the home rate and Toulouse conceded at 0.87 times it. Toulouse scored at 1.11 times the away rate and Monaco conceded at 1.09 times it. That gives Monaco 1.68 expected goals and Toulouse 1.50.
The table, this season and last
Monaco lead Ligue 1 after 5 games: 4 wins, 1 draw, 8 scored and 3 conceded, 13 points. Last season they finished 7th with 54 points from 34 games. Toulouse are 13th with 5 points: 1 win, 2 draws, 2 defeats, 7 scored and 9 conceded. Last season they finished 10th with 44 points.
The case against the bet is this season. The number leans on last season, and this season Monaco are top and unbeaten. At home they are 2-0-0, with 4 scored and 1 conceded. Toulouse are 0-2-0 away, with 4 scored and 4 conceded. Two games at each venue are too few for the method to use. They are the risk in this bet.
