It was a difficult introduction to life under Hugo Oliveira as Strasbourg suffered a 4-0 defeat away to Marseille on the opening weekend, but the response since then has been encouraging.
A 2-1 home victory over Lens followed before Le Racing produced their biggest result of the season so far by dismantling Troyes 6-2 away from home.
The Alsace outfit have also demonstrated an ability to recover from setbacks during matches, having fallen behind in each of their three domestic fixtures but turning two of those deficits into victories.
Le Racing will have memories of their recent meetings with the visitors, having won their last two encounters against Monaco, recording a 3-1 victory in Coupe de France before coming on the right side of a nine-goal thriller in Ligue 1 in May.
Monaco could hardly have asked for a better beginning to the Filipe Luis era, with the Brazilian having overseen five victories in as many competitive matches.
The Monegasques began their European campaign with a 3-2 win at Gornik Zabrze before completing a 7-3 aggregate victory with a 4-1 success in the return leg to secure passage into the competition’s main stage.
Monaco’s latest success was arguably the most impressive, having ecovered from conceding first to beat the reigning French champions 2-1 and maintain their place at the top of the table.
That victory also gave Monaco their strongest opening to a Ligue 1 season since 2017-18, when they started the campaign as defending champions.
The visitors have looked equally convincing without the ball, conceding only once in their first three league outings while recording clean sheets against Marseille and Le Havre.
