Strasbourg will host Monaco in the French Cup quarterfinal. Both teams are showing strong attacking play but have noticeable defensive issues, promising a thrilling match.
Strasbourg has been prolific in recent matches, scoring in each of their previous five matches, including a 4-1 win over Lille and a 6-0 thrashing in the cup. However, their defense has been poor, conceding goals in every match. Monaco has also been inconsistent defensively, as evidenced by their losses to Real Madrid (1-6) and Lorient (1-3), but they are capable of scoring, as demonstrated by their recent 4-0 victory over Rennes.
Their head-to-head record confirms their tendency to trade goals: in their last encounter in August, the teams scored five goals between them. Given the attacking potential of both sides and their vulnerable defense, the likelihood of each team scoring a goal looks very high.
