Monaco vs Strasbourg: A shock at the top for the 30th day of Ligue 1

Saturday 19 April 2025, the ASM Monaco will host the Racing Club in Strasbourg at the Stade Louis-II for the 30th day of Ligue 1. At only three points from each other, this match promises to be a real confrontation between two suitors in European places.

Monaco: Solid but weakened

The Monegasques, currently second in the championship with 53 points, have shown remarkable strength in recent weeks. With three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five games, they scored 9 goals while only granting 4. However, the wound of their star attacker, Maghnes Akliouche, and their defender Vanderson, weaken them significantly for this crucial confrontation.

Strasbourg: In full shape, but deprived of stars

Strasbourgers are not left behind. With 50 points on the counter and an impressive series of four wins and a draw on their last five outings, Racing is a serious contender in European competitions. The Strasbourg men scored 10 goals and cashed 5 in the same period. They will go to the Rock in the absence of three key players: A. Bellaarouch, M. S. Dion and D. Moreira, all injured.

History and issues

Historically, direct confrontations have always turned to the advantage of Monaco. Indeed, during the last five duels between the two teams, the ASM won all the matches, leaving no chance for the Alsatians to leave with even one point. This match will be thrilling, thanks to an undefeated Monaco at home against Strasbourg, but will have to count on a Racing Club in full shape, ready to push the established order. The stakes are high: a Monegasque victory would solidify their position at the top of the table, while a success in Strasbourg would propel them directly into the frantic race in the European squares.
