Prediction published on 19/08/2023, 15:31  by Daniel Ngulu in Ligue 1 Predictions

Monaco will be targeting a second straight win in Ligue 1 when they host Strasbourg on Match Day 2. Monaco are third going into this game while Strasbourg are sixth, both teams on three points, separated by goal difference. Monaco are coming off another high scoring game in their season opener. After going behind early, they rose to beat Clermont 4-2 away from home with Wissam Ben Yedder scoring a brace. Having beaten Strasbourg in the last two meetings, Monaco will be confident about this game. Each of their last two meetings had over 2.5 goals. Monaco will be hoping for a better run in Ligue 1 this season after managing a sixth placed finish last term. They failed to win any of the last four league matches so the win over Clermont was a good break. Three of their last four Ligue 1 matches produced over 2.5 goals, both teams scoring in three of five. At home in league matches, Monaco are without a win in three, losing twice. Four of their last five home league games produced over 2.5 goals with both teams scoring in three.

Unlike Monaco, Strasbourg were well in control for most of their win over Lyon. The only scare they got surrounded the 88th minute concession but by then they were 2-0 up. It ended 2-1 and here they have a chance to make it two wins in as many matches. Last season they finished just five points above the relegation zone and will hope to do better this time. An area of improvement will definitely be the defending after keeping one clean sheet in six preseason matches. Strasbourg’s last four matches haven't seen them keep a clean sheet. The visitors have scored in each of their last 13 league matches, and only failed once in the last 15. Both sides have scored in Strasbourg’s last four league matches.
