Strasbourg will look to rise above the off-pitch issues when they host AS Monaco in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Placed 12th, Strasbourg are still battling against the drop while Monaco are fighting for Champions League football. The hosts hold just a three-point buffer between themselves and the dreaded relegation zone. Strasbourg’s wheels seem to be falling off at a crucial stage of the season leading to their struggles. They have failed to win any of their last seven league games, suffering four losses. Patrick Vieira’s men however stopped their four-game losing streak last time out with a 2-2 draw against Montpellier. Goals in the second half including a brace from Arnaud Nordin canceled out Habib Diarra and Emanuel Emegha’s strikes. One outstanding stat in Strasbourg’s matches has been the high number of goals. Strasbourg’s last six home games have seen at least three or more goals scored per game.

Monaco will come into this game fixated on the three points at stake, to boost their top three quest. It has lately been an inconsistent patch for les Rouges et blancs in recent times. The visitors will be looking to return to winning ways in the league when they travel to face an out-of-form Strasbourg. This is after picking up a morale-boosting 0-0 draw against runaway league leaders PSG. The result kept alive their Champions League hopes for next season with Lens, Nice, and Lille breathing down their necks. Bar PSG, Monaco have the most potent attack in the league having found the back of the net 44 times in the league. Monaco will however be worried about their defence, having shipped in 34 goals in just 24 matches. With that number of goals conceded, theirs is the most porous defence in the top 10.
