Monaco
Strasbourg and Monaco face each other at Stade de la Meinau in what is expected to be a close Ligue 1 encounter. Le Racing have drawn each of their last three league fixtures, with the team remaining in the Conference League berth, but they need to be at their sharpest in the remainder of the season if they are to secure a top-five finish. All Adrien Thomasson, Eiji Kawashima, Ismael Doukoure, and Maxime Le Marchand should miss out with injuries of the home team.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Olympique Marseille. Monaco are eager to keep their Champions League hopes alive, and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Krepin Diatta is sidelined for the rest of the season, while both Cesc Fabregas and Guillermo Maripan remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Adrien Thomasson):
A midfielder with a keen eye for a precise pass, Adrian Thomasson is a French international who plays for Ligue 1 side Strasbourg. Thomasson is a versatile asset who can be equally deployed in a number of different positions up front, including a holding position at the centre of the park.
He began his professional career at Evian in 2012 and spent three years with Les Roses before moving to Nantes in 2015. One league match shy from entering the 100-game club, Adrien Thomasson scored nine goals for the Canaries before joining Strasbourg in the summer of 2018.
As a player who likes to hold on to the ball and build play from behind, Thomasson boasts impressive passing ability. Albeit an attacking midfielder who can play on both wings and in advanced midfield position, this French footballer also makes quite a contribution in defense.
Highlighted Team (Monaco):
Though based in Monaco, Les Rouges et Blances – as they are commonly referred to – play their games in the French football league system. Members of the top tier Ligue 1, Monaco play their home matches at the Stade Louis II in Fontvieille in front of 18,500 people. The Principality club boasts a turbulent history, which saw Monaco reach the highest heights of both domestic and international scene, but also get relegated to the amateur leagues at the very beginnings and to Ligue 2 in 2010-11 season.
The following year AS Monaco were acquired by the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, whose heavy investments turned the Principality club into one of the biggest spenders in Europe in 2013 and reestablishing its place among Europe’s top clubs.
AS Monaco have had notable European results in the modern football era having been runners-up in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1992 and the UEFA Champions League in 2004. One of the most successful clubs in France AS Monaco have so far won seven league titles and five Coupe de France trophies.
