Monaco form and stats

The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Monaco at their home stadium (Stade Louis II.) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Monaco's last game was hosting Real Sociedad and winning 2-1. Defender Benoît Badiashile got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.71/10. Badiashile served one assist, hit one key pass and won 6 of 7 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Lille that ended 2-2.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Monaco's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played nine games, won six matches, drawn one and lost two.

The manager N. Kovač will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Angers SCO in only three days.

Monaco have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stade Louis II. with 12 goals in 7 league matches. On the other hand, Monaco have conceded 9 goals.

Strasbourg form and stats

There's been little loot from Strasbourg's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Ligue 1. Strasbourg only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.

Strasbourg played 1-1 against Reims in their previous match. As mentioned above, Strasbourg drew the match against Reims. Manager J. Stéphan brought on Jean-Ricner Bellegarde to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Alexander Djiku, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.73. Djiku hit one key pass and won 8 of 11 duels.

A 2-2 draw at Nantes's stadium before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Strasbourg when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing one and winning zero games.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Bordeaux in just three days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Strasbourg have scored 7 goals in 6 league games away. As for defending, Strasbourg rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 11 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings involving these two teams are: five wins for Monaco, one draw and four wins for Strasbourg. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
