Monaco have experienced fluctuating form recently, with 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in their last 10 matches. Their attack shows sparks of creativity, but defensive frailties are evident. Their last three matches all ended in draws, including high-intensity clashes against Manchester City and Nice, demonstrating resilience but difficulty in securing victories.
In terms of squad, Monaco are severely impacted by injuries. Key absentees include Romain Camara (ankle), Jirásek Hrádecký (knee), Pogba (thigh), Vanderson, Mavisa Elébi (hamstring), and Zakaria (adductor), putting heavy strain on their defensive and midfield rotation and reducing overall team strength.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have been more consistent, with 5 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 matches. They have achieved notable victories in the Premier League against teams like Leeds and West Ham. Although they lost their last home game to Aston Villa, they had previously remained unbeaten in consecutive away fixtures, showing strong adaptability on the road.
Tottenham’s squad also faces injuries, including Radu Drăgușin, James Maddison (ACL), Bisoma (knee), and Kulusevski (knee), affecting attacking creativity and midfield depth. However, their defense, led by Van Dijk and Dänsö, remains solid.
Match Prediction:
Monaco’s home advantage is undermined by significant injuries and defensive vulnerabilities, making victories hard to come by. Tottenham, despite some injuries, possess greater squad depth, better away form, and sufficient motivation in the group stage. They are favored not to lose.
Prediction: Monaco 1–2 Tottenham
Betting Suggestion: Draw or Away Win (X2)
