Monaco vs Strasbourg prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-08-30 15:15.
[p]Monaco will look to bounce back from a tough defeat to Lille in Ligue 1 last weekend as they welcome Strasbourg – one of the early pacesetters – to Stade Louis II.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]It has been a mixed start to the campaign for Monaco, who followed up their 3-1 opening-matchday victory with a 1-0 loss at Lille last Sunday. Yet to keep a clean sheet this season and with just one in their last six league games, Adi Hütter’s men may need to rely on their attack to see them over the line against Strasbourg. Playing in front of their own fans should aid them in their quest, as only reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain have amassed more home points in Ligue 1 than their 42 since the beginning of 2024/25 (W13, D3, L2).[/p]
[p]One of four sides in the division to have made a perfect two-game start to their league campaign, Strasbourg will now be attempting to win their opening three Ligue 1 matches in a season for only the second time and the first time since 1946/47. A midweek trip to Denmark, in which a 3-2 win against Brondby secured their spot in the league phase of the UEFA Conference League, may negatively affect their prospects here as they attempt to shake off any fatigue from travelling, as could their mixed recent top-flight away record which has seen them pick up just 25 of their last 63 points on the road (W7, D4, L7). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be Monaco’s 50th game at home to Strasbourg in Ligue 1, and they have not recorded more victories against anyone else in the competition (35), while across all venues, Monaco have dropped points in just one of the last six H2Hs (W5, D1). [/p]
