AS Monaco is preparing to host the RC Strasbourg for the thirtieth day of Ligue 1, a crucial game that will take place on Saturday 19 April 2025 at 7 p.m. at the Stade Louis-II. Coach Adolfo Hütter selected a group of twenty-one players for this match, marked by Christian Mawissa’s return after suspension, while Jordan Teze and Kassoum Ouattara remain unavailable. This match looks like a duel between two teams that forged a historical rivalry, with Monaco showing a clear superiority in recent confrontations, having won 23 matches out of the last 41, against 9 for Strasbourg, the other nine leading to drawers. The Monegasques also showed greater offensive efficiency, scoring 77 goals against 43 for their opponents.

The history of the confrontations between these two teams is rich in highlights, including the spectacular match of 2 April 2023, where Monaco won 4-3, and the impressive victory of Strasbourg on 19 January 2019, with a score of 1-5 at Stade Louis-II. This meeting is therefore part of a context of high expectations, where fans hope to see an offensive show. The referee for the meeting will be E. Wattelhier, and the broadcast will be live on DAZN. The match is of particular importance in the Ligue 1 calendar, and observers question the outcome of this meeting.

In parallel with current sports events, the Monaco club is facing a situation concerning one of its most promising players, Maghnes Akliouche. The Franco-Algérien winger, despite a promising start to the season, experienced some decline over the course of the exercise. The club, aware of its undeniable talent and the growing interest of European clubs such as PSG, Manchester City and Manchester United, has set an estimated selling price between 70 and 80 million euros for its player, under contract until June 2028. This reflects the player’s value and the ambitions of the Monegasque club in the transfer market.
