Betting tips for Monaco vs Strasbourg - 16.09.2017

The Stade Louis II, in Monaco, host Saturday's duel between the home team, French champions and Strasbourg, newly promoted to the Ligue, in a match of the sixth day of the competition. Monaco are coming off a difficult week, scoring in European League and tie and want to recover against one of the weakest teams in the league, not to let the PSG escape. Meanwhile, visitors, who are not impressed in this return to the top category, are looking for an exhibition and result that may be the moral to start a recovery in the table.

AS Monaco come to this game after having won only one draw at RB Leipzig (1-1) on the first day of Champions League in a very well-balanced match with a goal for each side in the first part. This was the second consecutive game that the French champions failed to win, after beating in Nice (0-4), in the last day of the league. They went down to second place, three points behind PSG leading the table. They add 4 victories and one defeat in the defense of the title conquered last season, with 14 goals scored and 8 received, being at the same time the second best attack and the worst defense of the high zone of table. Falcao, with 7 goals in 5 matches is the team's top scorer, sharing the league's top scorer list with Cavani. For this match, Leonardo Jardim will not have Boishilia who is still injured, but must recover to Lemar. The media will be one of the innovations in the eleven, as well as Subasic, back to goal, Kongolo in defense, Ghezzal in the midfield and Jovetic in the front, giving the Portuguese coach some rest to Falcao.



Ligue 1 RC Strasbourg travels to the Mediterranean coast after being defeated at home by Amiens (0-1) last week thanks to a solitary Kukuta goal in the first quarter of an hour. It was the third consecutive game that those commanded by Thierry Laurey failed to win, and the second in which they lost without scoring goals. The Alsace team, returning to the top flight of the French football 10 years later adds 1 victory, 1 tie and 3 losses, with only 4 goals scored and 8 received, being 18º in the table, since it would take them the playoff of descent . The team has no stars, highlighting players like Jonas Martin, former Betis or Foulquier who arrived in the last days of the market, loaned by the Watford Premier. For this party, Laurey alone will not be able to count on Lala, expelled in the last day and that will have to be replaced precisely by Foulquier. In goal there may also be change and Oukidja must be holder.



This is a duel between the current champion and second-placed Ligue 1 and one of the worst teams in the competition. The squad of Strasbourg may be considered even the shortest in the top category and the team will have many difficulties to stay. They have four points, but the truth is that they only played with teams from the bottom of the table and in the only match with a European candidate, Lyon, were thrashed. The Monaco went through a complicated week, but Leonardo Jardim and tried to get back the mood of their players, who back home, will go out with everything to win. If Monaco is well he often scores a lot and I think that is the best betting option for the match.
