"The Stade Louis II will be the stage for a compelling Champions League encounter on Wednesday night as AS Monaco host Tottenham Hotspur in Matchday Three of the league phase. Both teams are looking to bounce back from underwhelming domestic performances and build momentum in Europe, where they've had mixed starts. With both sides adapting to new managerial regimes and dealing with injury concerns, this fixture promises to be unpredictable and entertaining."
"Monaco enter this fixture sitting 30th in the Champions League league-phase standings, having taken just one point from their opening two matches. Their last European outing was a spirited 2-2 draw against Manchester City, salvaged by a late Eric Dier penalty. That result followed a heavy 4-1 defeat to Club Brugge, which ultimately cost Adi Hütter his job. Now under the guidance of 38-year-old Sebastien Pocognoli, Monaco are in transition."
AS Monaco host Tottenham Hotspur at the Stade Louis II in a Champions League Group stage fixture as both teams seek European momentum amid poor domestic form. Monaco sit 30th in the league-phase standings with one point after two matches following a 4-1 defeat to Club Brugge and a 2-2 draw with Manchester City salvaged by a late Eric Dier penalty. Sebastien Pocognoli has replaced Adi Hütter and began with a 1-1 Ligue 1 draw, extending a four-match winless run. Defensive frailty continues with no clean sheets so far. A lengthy injury list includes Eric Dier (hamstring), Lukas Hradecky (knee), Christian Mawissa (hamstring), Vanderson (hamstring), Denis Zakaria (adductor), Lamine Camara (ankle) and Paul Pogba (lack of match fitness). Folarin Balogun is pushing for a start while Ansu Fati and Maghnes Akliouche are available in attack. Bookmaker best odds are 13/5 with Unibet.
