The fact is that Monaco play much faster in the national championship than at the Champions League, but I still think that this margin is too high. Based on the numbers, Monaco are the best defense in the league, Strasbourg are 4th, but they conceded a lot of points at the start of the season when Dettman was their coach, Collet is on the bench now, he improved their defense significantly, and the numbers confirm that.
But let's start with Monaco. They are playing much faster at home, the only minus is the game against Paris who are also great defensively, but Paris had the best numbers of the season in that game, they scored 33 in the last quarter, and I think Monaco will not allow that. They don't concede much on average, 70.7 in the national championship, even less in the Champions League, but I won't even look at that competition much because Monaco went over this margin there only against Nymburk. In the French championship they went over 70 at home against Paris (98) and Gravelines (71). They limited fast teams like Cholet at 68, Chalon at 52 and their defense is great. They have scored a lot at home, but today they will face experienced Collet who will not rush anything. Since he took over, Strasbourg have only one over on this margin, against fast Chalon. In the Champions League, they limited strong defensive teams like Avelino and Canarias under, and in the last 4 games, they conceded the most against Nanterre (73). They have also shown that they can play good defense, and we should point out that all three of their head-to-heads last year were under this margin, and both of these coaches were on the bench, so I don't believe their basketball philosophy has changed. All in all, I think we have room here, this is a derby, an important game for both team and I believe it will be a tense game.
