Monaco are coming into this match after a tough loss at home to Strasbourg recently, with that game seeing a huge number of goals. That defeat was part of a mixed run for Monaco, who had won two and drawn two in their five games before that. Strasbourg, however, are in better shape. They have won three of their last five away matches, drawing one and losing only one, so they are travelling with confidence.

These two teams have a history of high-scoring games. Three of their last four meetings have seen over four goals, including the recent five-goal thriller. This suggests the match is likely to be open and exciting. Given Monaco’s inconsistent form and Strasbourg’s strong recent away record, this looks like a very open contest where both sides have a good chance, but Strasbourg’s better recent results give them a slight edge. The match should be close, but I believe **Strasbourg will win**.
