Tottenham vs Monaco Prediction, Expected Lineup, How to Watch and Stats

Tottenham travel to France to face Monaco in the Champions League, aiming to respond to their weekend defeat and consolidate their position in the group.

Thomas Frank’s side have started their European campaign in form, collecting four points from their opening two matches, but inconsistency remains a familiar problem.

A 1-0 win at Villarreal and a 2-2 draw by Bode/Glimt showed both sides of Spurs – flexible and ruthless in spells, yet lacking in control at key moments.

Sunday’s loss to Aston Villa There was another reminder of those fine margins. A reshuffled defense struggled for rhythm, and Frank knows his team must find balance quickly.

Spurs are unbeaten at home this season, barring their Super Cup shootout defeat to PSG, and their counter-attacking threat has fared better.

Injuries continue to test him, yet Frank’s structure and resilience keep performances competitive. With key attackers missing, his team still found ways to score.

Monaco, meanwhile, have turned to new management to bolster their campaign. Sebastian Pocognoli replaced Eddy Hatter during the international break, but their first outing—a 1-1 draw at Angers—did little to calm nerves.

Monaco Team News

Eric Dier misses his reunion with his old club with a hamstring injury, while Lukas Hrdaki, Christian Mavisa, Wandersen, Denis Zakaria and Lamin Kamara are all unavailable.

Fulleren Balogan are pushing for a start with Enso Fati scoring off the bench to retain his place after a bright start to life in France.

Monaco are dangerous in attack but have suffered in every game so far this season. Pocogoli will rely on energy from the wing-backs, even if that risks exposing space in transition.

Monaco’s Expected Lineup

(3-4-2-1) Cohen ; Selso, Kehr, Henrik; Diata, Collabli, Teas, Ouitara; Akilievich, Faye ; Blowgun.

Mathis is ineligible, leaving Mohamed Kadus and Xavi Simmons to carry most of the creative load behind Richarlison.

Adro Porro is a key outlet from right-back, creating four chances in the draw with Bode/Glemt.

Frank’s side will once again look to control the tempo through Bentoncourt and Palahneha, whose positioning allows their attacking quartet to move with the flow.

Monaco vs Tottenham Predictions

Both teams are down on confidence but not on attacking quality. Monaco’s new system under Pocogoli still looks vulnerable, and Spurs’ wide play could exploit the spaces behind their wing-backs.

They have their own defensive absences from Frank, and Monaco’s front line – led by Fati and Balogun – has enough movement to cause problems.

The hosts have a strong record against English opposition at the Stade Louis II, but Spurs’ transitioning ability should quickly put them in the game.

Goals seem inevitable given both teams’ recent defensive records and the volume of chances they concede.

Spurs are likely to end up in possession, but Monaco’s energy and home crowd could make it a contest. Expect an entertaining, open clash between two sides still finding their rhythm.
