Monaco back in Ligue 1 against Strasbourg after UCL win.
As RC Strasbourg seek redemption on home soil, an in-form but recently stifled AS Monaco side will look to extend their winning streak against the hosts in a compelling Ligue 1 showdown at Stade de la Meinau.
Strasbourg
Strasbourg extended their winless run on the road after falling 2-0 to newly promoted Saint-Étienne at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard last weekend. After a tightly contested first half, second-half goals from Mickael Nade and Ibrahim Sissoko dealt a huge blow to Le Racing, marking their second league defeat in the last three games.
‘We have to give credit to Saint-Étienne, who were able to seize the opportunities,’ Liam Rosenior said after the loss, commending the opposition. ‘We didn't find the key tonight,’ he added, highlighting his team’s inability to break down St. Étienne’s stubborn defense.
The result leaves Strasbourg in ninth place on the Ligue 1 table, with 13 points from 10 games. As they head into this weekend’s encounter against Monaco, Strasbourg will aim to bounce back from their recent setback.
Rosenior’s side has struggled against Monaco on home turf, winning just three of their last 11 home games in Ligue 1. However, they remain confident, buoyed by a strong home form, having won three of their five league games at La Meinau this season.
A 3—4—1—2 formation is expected for this weekend's match, with Sékou Mara and Sebastian Nanasi leading the attack.
Monaco
Monaco continued their strong Champions League run with a narrow 1-0 victory over Bologna. Thilo Kehrer’s late goal in the 86th minute proved decisive as Hütter’s side claimed their third win in the competition.
After the hard-fought win, Adi Hütter remarked, ‘I'm really happy about these three points.’ The Austrian manager highlighted the importance of showing a reaction after two consecutive league defeats, including a disappointing 1-0 loss to Angers at home.
The defeat dropped Monaco to third on the league table, with 20 points from 10 games. They are tied on points with second-placed Marseille, having a record of six wins, two draws, and two losses.
Monaco now aims to carry their impressive European form into their domestic league, looking to recover from their recent setback with a win against Strasbourg. The visitors, who have won the last four meetings with the hosts, will be eager to extend this streak.
However, Monaco’s recent struggles in the final third cast doubt on their ability to secure maximum points, as they have failed to score in two of their last three league games. Hütter is expected to retain the 4-2-3-1 formation used against Bologna, with Breel Embolo leading the attack.
