Monaco vs. Strasbourg: Match Prediction
Both teams are in fantastic form, with the visitors on their longest unbeaten run in Ligue 1 since April 2022. However, I agree with the bookmakers, who favor the hosts in the upcoming match. The Monegasques have been more consistent this season and generally have a stronger squad than the Alsatians. A significant argument in favor of the hosts is their excellent home performance in the current championship. At Louis II, the club from the principality has won their last six Ligue 1 matches with a total score of 22:6, defeating tough opponents like Marseille and Nice.
Moreover, Monaco's attack at home is commendable. The club has scored at least twice in nine consecutive home league matches, including scoring twice against PSG. In four of the last five head-to-head meetings in Ligue 1, the Monegasques have scored at least twice against Strasbourg.
Therefore, my prediction is Monaco individual total over 1.5
