AS Monaco will host Tottenham Hotspur this Wednesday for the UEFA Champions League. Here's how and where to watch the match live, plus the predicted lineups.
Thomas Frank’s men have taken four points from games with Villarreal and Bodo/Glimt and a win here would put them in a strong position in the 36-team league. Monaco drew with Angers at the weekend and have yet to win in the Champions League.
Guglielmo Vicario was the Tottenham Hotspur hero as the Italian goalkeeper produced a heroic individual display to earn his side a draw in Monaco, with the match finishing 0-0 despite a host of opportunities for the home side.
Tottenham travel to Stade Louis II tonight for a pivotal Champions League fixture against Monaco, with Thomas Frank’s side facing mounting injury concerns in defence. The absences of key players threaten to unsettle the structure of a team still searching for rhythm in Europe.
Spurs have made a solid start to the Champions League season, though, taking four points from games with Villarreal and Bodo/Glimt. Monaco claimed a 2-2 draw with Manchester City in their last European game after suffering a 4-1 defeat at Club Brugge in their league phase opener.
Their last stalemate came during the final month of Antonio Conte's reign in March 2023 and was an especially frustrating one, as it resulted in Spurs meekly bowing out of the Champions League against AC Milan 1-0 on aggregate. None of their subsequent 125 matches ended without a goal, with only 22 of those finishing in score draws.
