Can Gary O’Neil help Strasbourg clinch their first win against Monaco in four years?
Stade de la Meinau in Alsace gears up to host the French Cup Round of 16 fixture, where the home team, Strasbourg, lock horns against AS Monaco.
After Liam Rosenior’s departure, former Wolves and AFC Bournemouth gaffer Gary O’Neil took over the reins. In the Round of 32 fixture, Strasbourg got the better of Avranches after humiliating them 6-0. They are coming off a defeat to ten-man PSG in their last game.
AS Monaco somehow avoided elimination from the UEFA Champions League after clinching just a solitary point in their last two games. Meanwhile, they thrashed US Orleans 3-1 in the Round of 32. They are led by Belgian gaffer Sebastian Pocognoli, who has previously been at the helm of Union Saint-Gilloise.
