Monaco vs Spurs – The Champions League bet to bank on

Last Updated: 12:29 GMT+2, Wed 22 October 2025. Written by Dylan Johnson

Tottenham Hotspur travel to the Stade Louis II on Wednesday for their Champions League Matchday 3 clash with AS Monaco, where the numbers suggest a stalemate could be the best bet.

Betway have Tottenham at 2.30 for an away win, Monaco at 3.10, and the draw priced at 3.70. According to the Opta supercomputer, Spurs have a 41.2 % chance of victory compared to Monaco’s 33.8 %, leaving little to separate the two sides.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank will be eager for a response after his team’s 2–1 home loss to Aston Villa. In Europe, Spurs have been more resilient, collecting four points from their opening two matches, including a comeback draw against Bodø/Glimt. However, their away form in Europe could be an issue, Tottenham have won just one of their last seven Champions League games away from home.

Goals galore point to betting value for Champions League matchday 3

Monaco enter the fixture under new coach Sébastien Pocognoli, who replaced Adi Hütter following a poor run that sees them sitting in 7th place in Ligue 1 and just one win in their last five matches. Despite their inconsistency, Monaco remain formidable at home, losing only once in eight Champions League fixtures against English opposition.

Their 2–2 draw with Manchester City earlier this season demonstrated their ability to compete against elite sides. Add to that former Barca wonderkid Ansu Fati’s resurgence in France alongside Folarin Balogun’s recent scoring form, there is firepower up front that could cause Spurs’ weakened backline problems.

Both teams are missing key players. Spurs travel without Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, and Yves Bissouma, while Monaco remain without Paul Pogba, Denis Zakaria, and goalkeeper Lukáš Hrádecký. Tottenham’s attacking options including Xavi Simons, Mohamed Kudus and Brennan Johnson have the tools to open up Monaco, while fullback Pedro Porro will also be key to creating chances.

Monaco’s home advantage and disciplined structure make this a balanced contest, while Spurs have a formidable record away from home, with an unbeaten streak on the road in 2025-26.
