In total they scored 60 and conceded 43 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 7 and lost 6 with 24/25 goals scored/conceded.

The manager Stéphan was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Stade de la Meinau. Strasbourg suffered a 1-2 loss to Monaco (placed 6th). Strasbourg keeper Sels had a top-notch shift versus Monaco, but despite managing nine saves the defeat could not be stopped.
