Monaco
🎙 “First of all, congratulations to Strasbourg for qualifying for the Europa League! They're a very strong team, having already secured three wins this season: two in the league and one crucial away victory in Copenhagen, which is always a tough place to win. They'll come with strong confidence, and even after a long journey, football is played in the mind, and success is beneficial for the psyche. Moreover, they're the youngest team in Ligue 1, with an average age of 21.9 years. Under the guidance of a good coach, they play attractive football. So, it's a great challenge for us, and we're eagerly anticipating this match,” stated AS Monaco's head coach Adi Hütter at the pre-match press conference ahead of their clash with Strasbourg.
❌ Breel Embolo's participation in the upcoming match is doubtful as he has yet to fully recover from injury. He last played in a friendly against Inter in early August. Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba will also be unavailable, as the Monaco coaching staff believes they have not yet reached the required fitness levels.
Strasbourg Alsace
❔ Defender Andrew Omobamidele's participation in the upcoming match is in doubt after he picked up an injury in the second round against Nantes, causing him to miss the return leg of the Conference League qualifier against Brøndby. The situation with defender Gela Doué remains unclear; he missed the start of the season but, according to local media, is now ready to take the field.
❌ Abakar Sylla, Soumaila Coulibaly, and Saidu Sow will be unable to assist their teammates in the game against Monaco as they are sidelined with various injuries (knee, calf muscle). We won't see them on the pitch for several weeks.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Benoit Bastien has been appointed as the main referee for the upcoming match. Over his last 100 matches, he's shown just 386 yellow cards (an average of 3.86 per game) with 24 fouls. In their last ten matches, Monaco have averaged 1.7 yellow cards per game, while Strasbourg have averaged 1.9. Considering the teams' and referee's statistics, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Strasbourg have scored in three of their four matches this season, tallying a total of 5 goals. Monaco have netted 3 goals in their last two fixtures, and with Adi Hütter's men playing in front of their home crowd, they'll be eager to win. We recommend a bet on both teams to score.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In their last two matches, Monaco have taken just 8 corners (averaging 4 per game). Strasbourg have had 10 corners (averaging 5 per match). Over a stretch of 10 games, the hosts average 4.9, while the visitors average 6 corners. Taking all this into account, we suggest considering a bet on total corners under 11.
Editor's Prediction
We're in for a fiercely contested battle across every part of the pitch. Both teams favor attacking play and have been scoring well this season. Monaco, especially at home, delivers some high-scoring performances. We anticipate a home victory with a scoreline of 2-1. Considering the teams' recent performances this season, we suggest betting on over 2.5 goals.
