Strasbourg v Monaco: league leaders seek another win at Stade de la Meinau

AS Monaco will attempt to extend their perfect start to the season when they visit Strasbourg in Ligue 1 on Saturday, 12 September 2026.

The match, part of the fourth round of the French top flight, will be played at Stade de la Meinau in Strasbourg, with kick-off scheduled for 15:15 GMT.

The game will be shown in France on Ligue 1+, in the United States and Canada on beIN SPORTS, in sub-Saharan Africa on Canal+ Sport, and in the Middle East and North Africa on beIN SPORTS.

Monaco arrive as Ligue 1 leaders after winning all five of their matches so far. Their early-season record includes a 2-0 victory over Marseille and a 2-1 comeback win against Paris Saint-Germain last week.

Those results have underlined the strength of Adi Hutter’s side, who will be aiming to maintain their momentum against a Strasbourg team that has also found its form after a difficult opening.

Strasbourg began the campaign in concerning fashion but responded with consecutive victories over Lens and Troyes. They beat Lens 2-1 before claiming a 6-2 win against Troyes, a run which has lifted Hugo Oliveira’s side into sixth place.

The Racing will also draw confidence from their recent home record in this fixture. Strasbourg have won their past two meetings with Monaco, both at Stade de la Meinau, scoring 13 goals in the process.

However, Monaco have generally avoided defeat against Strasbourg in recent years. A third successive away loss to the Racing would be Monaco’s first such run in Strasbourg since 1997.

The match therefore brings together Monaco’s outstanding start and Strasbourg’s improving home form. The visitors are marginal favourites, with the probabilities giving them a 46% chance of victory. Strasbourg are rated at 32%, while the likelihood of a draw stands at 22%.

The prediction is for a narrow Monaco win, with a 1-0 scoreline forecast.

Betting firm 1xbet lists Strasbourg at 3.10 to win, with the draw priced at 3.75 and an AS Monaco victory at 2.15.
