Strasbourg vs Monaco Prediction
Racing have a strong record against the home visitors and will look to extend the same here. They have a relatively poor record in the opening matches of the campaign, so nerves could get to them in this game. They’ve managed to score at least one goal in each of their friendlies so far, so the chances of them scoring look good.
