In a weekend match in week 1, on Saturday Aug 6th, Strasbourg will host Monaco in a clash of the Ligue 1. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 26 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Strasbourg has not played yet this season, while monaco sits at 9th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against PSV. Joey Veerman struck first for PSV in the 38th minute, but Axel Disasi got the equalizer for Monaco in the 80th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Monaco. Monaco looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Strasbourg won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Monaco is glad to have Wissam Ben Yedder in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals.
and Diarra are unavailable to play for Strasbourg, while Philippe Clement’s Monaco squad will be without Aleksandr Golovin and Kevin Volland.
