Monaco have been REALLY disappointing this season and are coming off yet another draw against Nice a few days ago. They have not been in very bad shape lately but are still struggling mightily to record wins. They will not have an easy task in their upcoming match, as they will host Strasbourg on Saturday.

Monaco (3-11-6) are coming off a really frustrating 1-1 draw at home against Nice, in a match where their opponents finished with 10 men and even missed a penalty kick. That was the third consecutive 1-1 draw for Monaco in all competitions and they are now undefeated in their last four (1-0-3). They are now sitting at the 19th spot of the league table with 15 points, still three below the red line. To make matters worse, they have yet to win a league match at home (0-6-4). Strasbourg (7-5-8) have been excellent in the Ligue 1 after promoting last season, and are currently sitting at the 7th spot with 29 points, just five points behind the top-four. In their last match they played for a goal-less draw against Grenoble in the Cup but scored the only goal of the extra time to go through. They have been in really good shape in the past month, losing just once in that span (4-1-4). Strasbourg have been really competitive on the road so far in the league (3-3-4), where they also have two more draws and a win.

Strasbourg did great to beat Monaco by 1-2 at home earlier in the season but last season it was Monaco who won both matches easily and have won four of the last five. Strasbourg have never won in this venue (0-8-2) but they can certainly take some points here. But I will steer away and pick the Over 2.25 Goals here.
