STRASBOURG VS MONACO PREVIEW & PREDICTION

In the Ligue 1, the AS Monaco sends on to build on the top performances of the preseason and to secure after the championship last year now the runner-up. On the way there must come next Friday (09.03., 19:45 clock) but also a victory at Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace ago. With Olympique Marseille and Olympique Lyon still two ambitious teams are in wait and wait in the fight for the Champions League seats only on errors of the Monegas. The Alsatians should normally not be too great an obstacle, they currently belong to the weakest form teams in the top French league. Since the Eleven of the Principality in comparison to the strongest form and offensively strongest French teams, we recommend a tip for the match to over 2.5 goals. Corresponding over bets are offered by Unibet at odds up to 1.75 and played by us with 4 units.

Strasbourg:

Les Bleus, as the Racing Club Strasbourg is also called succeeded in the last two seasons as a respective champion direct march from the third in the first division. In Ligue 1, but it is not yet optimal. So the team of coach Thierry Laurey can be found after the 28th matchday with a record of eight wins, seven draws and thirteen defeats, a goal difference of 32:49 and 31 points only in 15th place again. The lead on the relegation relegation place is currently just three points, which means that every single point counts. Hopes make the achievements in the Stade de la Meinau, where RC Strasbourg could retract about two-thirds of the previous point yield.

The current form of the Alsatians is anything but perfect for a newcomer. With only four points from the last five games and a goal difference of 4:10, the Laurey-Elf is currently one of the weakest in Ligue 1’s teams. Les Bleus has only been able to beat ES Troyers (18th, 2: 1) and Montpellier HSC (6th, 0: 0), still to score. Against Girondins Bordeaux (9th, 0: 2), Paris Saint Germain (1st, 2: 5) and SM Caen (11th, 0: 2) the Strasbourg defeated. The biggest construction site was on the defensive. A total of 49 goals are the third worst value in Ligue 1 and so far could not be offset by an average offensive, which could achieve at least 32 goals.

Monaco:

AS Monaco scored an unexpected triumph last season. Because at the end of last season was not the industry leader Paris Saint Germain at the top of the league table 1, but the Monegasque, who could thus celebrate their eighth championship after 17 years. But this also demanded a tribute. With Kylian Mbappe in the aftermath namely the currently probably biggest storm talent to the competition to the Saine. Nevertheless, coach Leonardo Jardim managed to hold together a powerful team and to build on the achievements of the last season. So the Monegassen are currently in second place with a record of eighteen wins, six draws and four defeats, a goal difference of 69:30 and 60 points. Many slip-ups on the way to the runner-up, however, no longer allowed, with Marseille (56 points) and Lyon (51 points) lurk two strong competitors.

The shape of the Monegassen is dazzling. The Jardim team took 13 out of a possible 15 points in the last race. Olympique Lyon (4th, 3: 2), Angers SCO (14th, 4: 0), Dijon FCO (10th, 4: 0) and Girondins Bordeaux (9, 2: 1) to be beaten. Only in Toulouse it was enough in the end only to a 3: 3-draw. As in the previous season, the offensive is again with 69 hits the showpiece of Monaco – and that, although the top scorer Falcao (17 goals) in the current season several injury-related losses had to accept and will not compete next Friday. But then regularly jump others in the breach, especially Balde Keita and Lopes Rony, both of which already have eight hits on the account. However, reliance is also on the defensive, which is one of the top 5 Ligue 1 with just 30 goals conceded.


PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.65
