Latest team news for Monaco vs Tottenham
Tottenham continue to face a personnel crisis in their defense. Before the defeat to Aston Villa, Destiny Udogie was left out of the squad due to a knee injury, while captain Cristian Romero suffered a hamstring problem during the warm-up. Both are unlikely to be fit in time for midweek, so Kevin Danso will continue to partner Micky van de Ven in central defense – who only needs one more yellow card to be suspended for the Champions League.
Spurs' lengthy injury list also includes Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Radu Dragusin, Kota Takai, Ben Davies and Dominic Solanke, while Mathys Tel (suspended) is also dealing with a calf problem.
On the opposite side, Monaco also suffered serious losses in terms of personnel. "Hero" Eric Dier – who scored the equalizer against Man City – sustained a hamstring injury and will be absent, along with Lukas Hradecky, Christian Mawissa, Vanderson, Denis Zakaria, Lamine Camara, and Paul Pogba (not yet fully fit).
However, the Louis II Stadium side's attack remains strong. Folarin Balogun, a former Arsenal player, is likely to start after coming on as a substitute in the draw against Angers, replacing young striker Mika Biereth.
This match promises to be very evenly matched — Tottenham have more consistent form in Europe, while Monaco are in the process of reinventing their style of play under Pocognoli.

Latest football match prediction: Monaco vs Tottenham
Tottenham are very close to securing direct qualification to the Champions League round of 16, having earned 4 points from their first two matches – a rather impressive start in their return to this prestigious competition. However, the 2–2 draw against Bodo/Glimt in the second match left them somewhat disappointed.
Facing the same opponent they had beaten 5-1 over two legs in last season's Europa League semi-final, Tottenham encountered far more difficulties on their trip to Norway and had to rely on an own goal in injury time from Jostein Gundersen to avoid defeat.
Nevertheless, with one win and one draw, Tottenham extended their unbeaten run to six consecutive matches in the Champions League group stage or main draw, and have only lost two of their last 12 games in the competition.
Last weekend, Thomas Frank's side disappointed again by losing 2-1 to Aston Villa in London, meaning they have only won 1 of their last 4 matches in all competitions. Despite their inconsistent home form, Tottenham are still maintaining an unbeaten away record this season (excluding their penalty shootout defeat against PSG in the European Super Cup).
Monaco is entering a coaching transition period, with the arrival of a new manager.Sebastian Pocognolijust appointed to replaceAdi Hütterafter the international holiday.
Hütter was sacked due to a poor run of form — winning only 1 of his last 5 games in charge, including a 1–4 defeat to Club Brugge and a 2–2 draw with Manchester City (thanks to a last-minute penalty from Eric Dier).
Pocognoli, 38, previously won the Belgian domestic league with Union Saint-Gilloise, but his Ligue 1 debut was not smooth: Monaco only managed a 1-1 draw with Angers at home, extending their run of three consecutive draws in all competitions.
The Principality team continues to show weaknesses in defense, having yet to keep a clean sheet this season. Ahead of their match against Tottenham, they can still draw inspiration from the 2016–17 season, when they defeated the "Spurs" 2–1 in both legs of the Champions League group stage that year.
