50th victory? ????

AS Monaco have won 49 of their 96 matches against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 (22 draws, 25 defeats), with Racing potentially becoming the second team against which the Monegasques pass the 50 success mark in the elite after ( 53). The Principality club has won each of the last 4 clashes in Ligue 1 and could have a longer run for only the second time against this opponent, after 1981-1984 (7).

From show to Racing ????

Strasbourg have scored 19 goals after 10 Ligue 1 2024-2025 matches, their highest total at this stage of a season in the top flight since 1979-1980 (20). He also displays his co-highest total of goals conceded after 10 matches in a Ligue 1 exercise in the 21st century (19, as in 2020-2021).

Taste success ????

The Rouge et Blanc have not won any of their last three Ligue 1 matches (1 draw, 2 defeats) and have not experienced a longer drought since the last 4 matches of the 2022-2023 season (1 draw, 3 defeats). ). AS Monaco has recorded as many defeats in its last two L1 matches (2) as in the previous 24 (16 wins, 6 draws).

Meinau ????️

Racing have not lost any of their last 6 home games in Ligue 1 (4 wins, 2 draws), their longest series since January-May 2022 (9). The club has recorded as many victories in this period as in the previous 14 home matches in the top flight (4 wins, 3 draws, 7 defeats).

Alsace-Lorraine ????

AS Monaco have won 9 of their last 13 trips to the region in Ligue 1 (2 draws, 2 defeats) after not having won any of the previous 5 (2 draws, 3 defeats).

Chameleon ????

The Principality club carries out high-intensity pressing on 56.0% of the balls touched by its opponents this season in Ligue 1, while this percentage is 52.7% on the Strasbourg side. Only SG's opponents (56.2% of balls touched) are more subject to high-intensity pressing in 2024-2025.

In the box ????

Strasbourg is one of 4 teams in the European top 5 to have neither scored nor conceded a goal from outside the box this season (along with Empoli, Lazio and Bournemouth).

Exception ????️

AS Monaco is the only Ligue 1 team not to have obtained a single penalty this season. You had to go back to 2010-2011 to see the Monegasque club without a penalty after 10 matches in a Ligue 1 campaign.

Different approaches ☯️

Liam Rosenior is the coach making the fewest changes to his starting XI from one match to the next on average this season in Ligue 1 (1.7), while only Éric Roy (5.3) makes more than Adi Hütter (4.7).

Strasbourg, a profile similar to us? I repeat, they play a very aggressive game, with a lot of intensity. On the other hand, they have a different but well-defined structure, with three defenders, two defensive midfielders and two players who play behind the attacker.
