Monaco – Strasbourg

Match analysis

Monaco host Strasbourg in what promises to be a tightly contested Ligue 1 clash, with the league leaders two points clear of the top spot and looking to extend their perfect record of three wins and a draw. The home side have been prolific, netting six goals while conceding just two, whereas Strasbourg have scored nine but leaked eight, reflecting a more porous defence. Sitting fifth, Monaco sit on 10 points, while Strasbourg sit sixth with seven, meaning a win for the visitors would bring them within a single point of the Provençal side. The two teams have met only sporadically in recent seasons, but Monaco’s superior recent form suggests they will aim to maintain their unbeaten run against a Strasbourg side eager to close the gap.
