Form and Line-up
Strasbourg have just beaten Brest 2:1 away, but the season is already virtually over for the home team: they are eighth on 50 points and their position will not change. After dropping out of the Conference League the tempo has dipped, with two home defeats in Ligue 1 in a row, and without Joaquin Panichelli the attack have lost their most reliable finisher.
Key numbers:
At home in Ligue 1: eight wins, three draws and five defeats.
Across the last five matches in all competitions: one win, one draw and three defeats.
Season averages: 1.6 goals, 1.1 xG and 10.0 shots per match.
Joaquin Panichelli remains the team's top scorer with 16 goals, but he is sidelined.
Probable line-up (4-2-3-1): Mike Penders — Guela Doue, Andrew Omobamidele, Lucas Hogsberg, Abdoul Ouattara — Valentin Barco, Samir El Mourabet — Samuel Amo-Ameyaw, Sebastian Nanasi, Martial Godo — Julio Enciso.
Absentees: Joaquin Panichelli — cruciate ligament rupture; Emmanuel Emegha — leg injury; Aaron Anselmino — doubtful.
Form and Line-up
Monaco sit seventh with 54 points and a goal difference of 56:49. The 0:1 defeat to Lille damaged their European hopes but did not close the door: the visitors need a win in Alsace and for Marseille to lose against Rennes.
Key numbers:
Away in Ligue 1: six wins, four draws and six defeats.
Monaco have taken points in seven of their last eight away league matches.
In their last five away league games the team have scored at least two goals each time.
The last seven Ligue 1 meetings with Strasbourg have all been without defeat; the last three league trips to the Meinau have all ended in wins.
Probable line-up (3-4-2-1): Lukas Hradecky — Denis Zakaria, Thilo Kehrer, Wout Faes — Jordan Teze, Lamine Camara, Paul Pogba, Simon Adingra — Maghnes Akliouche, Aleksandr Golovin — Folarin Balogun.
Absentees: Mohammed Salisu — cruciate ligament injury; Takumi Minamino — knee injury; Kassoum Ouattara — knee injury; Stanis Idumbo — shoulder injury; Paris Brunner — hamstring; Caio Henrique and Vanderson — doubtful.
