"Reuniting with their 2024-25 Europa League semi-final opponents - whom they defeated 5-1 on aggregate last term - Spurs found life much tougher in the Arctic Circle and needed a last-gasp own goal from Jostein Gundersen to salvage a 2-2 draw. Nevertheless, that result combined with an opening victory over Villarreal has extended the Lilywhites' unbeaten run in the Champions League league phase to six matches, losing only twice in their last 12."
"Meanwhile, Monaco are adjusting to life under new management after Sebastien Pocognoli replaced Adi Hutter during the international break. Hutter was dismissed following a poor run of results that saw just one win in five games, including a 4-1 loss to Club Brugge and a 2-2 draw with Manchester City in Europe. Pocognoli's first game in charge - a 1-1 draw with Angers - offered few signs of immediate improvement."
"However, Thomas Frank's Aston Villa handed them another domestic setback at the weekend with a 2-1 Premier League defeat - leaving Tottenham with just one win from their last four in all competitions. For all of their inconsistencies at home, Thomas Frank's side remain unbeaten away from North London in 2025-26, excluding their European Super Cup penalty-shootout loss to Paris Saint-Germain."
Both Monaco and Tottenham drew their most recent Champions League matches and now meet at the Stade Louis II. Tottenham took a point against Bodo/Glimt after an own goal salvaged a 2-2 draw, and also beat Villarreal, leaving them unbeaten in six Champions League league-phase matches. Tottenham have one win from their last four matches after a 2-1 Premier League loss to Aston Villa, but remain unbeaten away from North London in 2025-26 excluding the Super Cup shootout defeat. Monaco replaced Adi Hutter with Sebastien Pocognoli during the international break and have drawn three straight matches, with few signs of immediate improvement.
