Monaco Preview: Foot on the Monegasque

Under the management of former Borussia Monchengladbach boss Adi Hutter, Monaco come into this one on the back of an impressive 3-0 hammering of Olympique de Marseille at Stade Louis II last weekend as they look to secure UEFA Champions League qualification once again.

The Monegasque scored in the 34th minute via Japan international attacking midfielder Takumi Minamino before second-half strikes from Switzerland international duo Breel Embolo and Denis Zakaria, with the latter coming from the penalty spot.

Strasbourg Preview: Silky Strasbourg

Strasbourg have been excellent since the turn of the year with the coaching of former Derby County and Hull City boss Liam Rosenior. The Alsace-based outfit begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just a couple of points and places outside of the top three.

They were denied yet another victory at Stade de la Meinau last weekend as they shared a 2-2 draw with Nice last weekend after coming from behind to lead by two goals to one in the second-half before Youssouf Ndayishimiye equalising in second-half stoppage-time.
