AS Monaco vs Tottenham form

After half a decade of absence, AS Monaco has finally won a ticket to the Champions League arena. However, the Principality team's hopes of passing the classification stage promise to be very difficult.

In the opening match, despite only having to play away against a fairly evenly matched opponent, Club Brugge, AS Monaco still had to leave with a heavy 1-4 defeat. In the most recent home match, the team under the direction of coach Adi Hutter also almost fell into a state of empty-handedness if it were not for the equalizer 2-2 in the last official minute by center-back Eric Dier.

Continuing to play at the Louis II stadium and welcoming another representative from the land of fog, can AS Monaco find their first victory? It's really not easy! Tottenham may not be rated as highly as Man City, but the young master of London is still a very formidable face.

After two matches, Spurs have not tasted defeat once, with 1 win and 1 draw. The Roosters' away record is also very impressive, with 3 wins and 2 draws after 5 away trips.

Despite losing 1-2 against Aston Villa last weekend, Tottenham were defeated by their opponents' brilliant moments more than by the game. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, coach Thomas Frank admitted that the team was quite disappointed with the recent result but quickly regained their spirit to move towards the goal of earning 3 points in the Principality.

AS Monaco, for their part, will play their first Champions League match this season under the direction of new coach Sebastien Pocognoli, who was chosen to replace his predecessor Adi Hutter due to below-expected results. But under the leadership of the 38-year-old coach, the home team has yet to win a single match.

Tottenham will not easily leave Louis II with 3 full points.

In the last two rounds of Ligue 1, AS Monaco drew, despite being ranked higher in the matches against Nice or Angers. In total, the home team Louis II's winless streak has reached 4 matches. At the same time, AS Monaco has not kept a clean sheet in a total of 10 matches since the beginning of the season.

In the past decade, AS Monaco and Tottenham have met four times in European competitions. The Principality team is showing the advantage with two wins, one draw and one loss. But at the moment, it will not be easy for the home team to bring home three points against the visitors with a higher-rated squad.
