On Sunday afternoon at Stade Louis II, Monaco will host Strasbourg. The home side usually does great against Strasbourg, but Monaco's form at the start of the season seems far from ideal.

Monaco are usually too good for Strasbourg, as they have won five of the last six H2H matches. The only game that the team from Stade Louis II didn't win in that span is the last one, when the teams played 0-0. Another interesting fact about Monaco and Strasbourg H2H matches is that two of the previous three games went under 2.5 goals line.
Monaco team overview
With PSG being too dominant, Monaco's main goal in basically every season is to finish in a place that will bring them a place in the Champions League. Adi Hutter's team had another fine year, as they ended third and will hope for a similar result in the 2025/26, too.
After an excellent preseason and only one defeat in eight matches, Monaco started the 2025/26 season with three points in two opening rounds. Last weekend, Hutter's team lost 1-0 on the road against Lille. The home side finished the match with an xG of 2.92, while the guests had only 1.25, so any other outcome than Monaco's defeat would be unfair.
There are only a few more days until the end of the summer transfer window, but Monaco is still very active in the market. The club from Stade Louis II is linked with signing Alan Minda, a winger from Cercle Brugge. Also, a few players could leave Monaco.
Monaco have almost a full squad for the upcoming tie against Strasbourg. Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba are the only ones who should miss the next round.

Strasbourg team overview
Last season was one of the best for Strasbourg in the 21st century as they finished seventh in Ligue 1. Liam Rosenior's team have invested a lot this summer and could even get into the mix for the Champions League spot in the upcoming season.
Strasbourg are excellent at the start of the 2025/26 season. They won both Ligue 1 games, while they also progressed to the Conference League. On Thursday, in their last match, Rosenior's team won 3-2 on the road against Brondby. The home deserved more from that game, but the guests found a way to snatch a victory.
Strasbourg are interested in signing Julio Enciso from Brighton. However, the attacking midfielder has failed medical exams, so the transfer is now in jeopardy. Brighton's manager Fabian Hurzeler said Enciso's injury is not serious, so his move to Strasbourg could still proceed.
Abakar Sylla, Soumaila Coulibaly, and Saidou Sow are injured and will not play on Sunday at Stade Louis II, while Guela Doue and Andrew Omobamidele are questionable.

Prediction
Although Monaco usually dominates against Strasbourg, the situation changed as Liam Rosenior's team became one of the best in Ligue 1. Strasbourg are without a victory in four matches this season, while Monaco showed some weaknesses, especially in defeat against Lille. With all said, Strasbourg should cover the AH +1 spread in the upcoming tie.
3 Reasons why Strasbourg should cover AH +1 spread
- Monaco won only one of the last four matches, including the preseason
- Strasbourg are unbeaten in the first four games this season
- Strasbourg allowed only two goals in the previous four matches
