Monaco vs Tottenham Prediction, 02:00 October 23: Stopping the crisis

TPO - Football prediction Monaco vs Tottenham, European Cup C1 at 02:00 on October 23. Tottenham needs to win against Monaco to prevent the risk of getting bogged down in crisis.

Pre-match comments Monaco vs Tottenham

Tottenham had a dream start under new manager Thomas Frank with impressive wins in the Premier League and the Champions League. However, their “honeymoon” with the Danish strategist seems to have ended after a reverse defeat at home to Aston Villa last weekend. This result left Tottenham with only 1 win in their last 4 matches. Before losing to Villa, they were held to draws by Wolves and Bodo Glimt, and only won against newly promoted Leeds.

Coach Thomas Frank is trying to get the most out of his players, but constantly rotating the attacking positions seems counterproductive. Young players like Odobert and Tel are too young to lead Tottenham's play, while new signing Xavi Simons has been slow to adapt.

Experts say Tottenham are at risk of falling into a crisis. If they continue to fail to beat Monaco, the situation will become very serious, especially when their schedule in November is very heavy (consecutive matches against Chelsea, MU, Arsenal and PSG). The good start of the "Rooster" can be completely swept away at this stage if they do not improve their performance in time.

The pressure is now gradually falling on coach Thomas Frank. In fact, Tottenham do not have any truly outstanding stars. After Harry Kane and Son Heung-min left one after another, they lack a player who can shine regularly in the most difficult times of the team. This is probably also the reason why Thomas Frank took the risk of rotating the attack, in search of his own star.

On the other hand, Monaco have had a disappointing start to the Champions League qualifying round: they have only one point after two matches, while their previous results included a heavy defeat and a lucky draw. Monaco’s defense has shown many problems in terms of stability and the ability to withstand pressure against strong teams.

The home team's form is also near rock bottom with 4 consecutive winless matches (lost 1, drawn 3). However, they did an excellent job of holding Man City to a draw in the most recent match in the European Cup 1 and that is the basis for them to aim to create a surprise against Tottenham.
