The league table tells us that 3 points divide the pair of two sets of gladiators in this Ligue 1 fixture. Strasbourg enjoy both the points- and home stadium advantage.

Insights:
  • Strasbourg have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • Monaco have won significantly less corners away then at home.

The visiting Monaco played their last game only three days ago, a Europa League match. That game was also an away game, at Sporting Braga. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Strasbourg form and stats

7-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Strasbourg so far this season. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Strasbourg.

The home team returns to Stade de la Meinau after drawing with Reims (placed 13th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. Midfield player Bellegarde got a match rating of 7.6 in that game, the max score being 10. Bellegarde scored one goal, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 38 successful passes (of 42 total).

Before that, Strasbourg drew at home versus Nice.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
