Monaco take on the visitors Strasbourg at "Stade Louis II" in the matchday six of the French Ligue 1. The game will be played on Saturday, September 16th.
The pause for the A-teams battles had negative impact on the Ligue 1 champion. If in August "Les Monegasques" smashed their opponents, then in two September clashes they simply disappointed. Last round in the Ligue 1 Monaco were beaten by Nice with 0:4 scoreline on the road while on Wednesday they got 1:1 draw against RB Leipzig in the first matchday of the UEFA Champions League. Having lost to Nice, Monaco lost the leading position in the French elite division and at the moment they sit on the second place in the table with 12 points taken and 14-8 goal difference. In regards to the Leonardo Jardim's side performance in face of its supporters, taking into consideration last season, "Les Monegasques" won four encounters in a row with 15:3 aggregated score, having defeated Toulouse 3:2 and Marseille 6:1 in two matches of the Ligue 1.

Strasbourg had a successful start in the new season as for the elite division new-comer, having picked up four points with 4-8 goal difference in five games. However, Thierry Laurey's team demonstrates weak results on the road, having picked up one point with 1-7 goal difference in three clashes. Taking into account last season, Strasbourg have not succeeded in five consecutive away battles.
Monaco have not been defeated by Strasbourg since the 24th of November 2002 across nine head-to-heads in a row covering six triumphs and three draws. At the moment there is a dramatic gap in teams' level, besides, "Les Monegasques" will play in face of their supporters plus they have failed in two recent encounters and will determine to bounce back.
Prediction for the match: Monaco to win with -2.0 Asian handicap.
