At Stade Louis-II on 22 October 2025, Monaco host Tottenham in a UEFA Champions League league-phase clash with the hosts chasing their first win of the campaign and Spurs looking to extend an unbeaten European start. The Football Faithful.
Open, Urgent, and Likely Lively
Your note about Monaco’s games reliably producing goals fits the eye test: they’ve been a high-event side lately, and Tottenham’s form has swung between assertive and wobbly - but usually in matches with chances at both ends. With Monaco on one point (draw vs Man City after a late Dier penalty) and Spurs on four (win vs Villarreal, draw at Bodø/Glimt), urgency and confidence tilt the game state toward Tottenham’s control and Monaco’s front-foot response.
Monaco: Front-Foot at Home, But Leaky
Monaco showed resilience to claw back a 2–2 vs Manchester City, yet their European start (L–D) means they have to push here - especially in front of their supporters. That attacking intent has come with defensive trade-offs, a theme in their recent run.
Tottenham: Functional Away, Points in the Bag
Spurs arrive with four points from two UCL games and a solid away rhythm this season. Even after a domestic setback at the weekend, their European pattern - efficient transitions, set-piece threat, and enough control phases - translates well to away fixtures like this.
