Monaco host Tottenham Hotspur at the Stade Louis II in a clash that pits defensive resilience against attacking ambition.
With both sides navigating an inconsistent start to their European campaign, this fixture on 22 October 2025 promises to shape the early group narrative. Monaco will be desperate to tighten up at the back after conceding six in their opening two matches, while Tottenham arrive boosted by their solid backline and superior ball control.
Best Bets & Predictions
Based on Tottenham’s defensive solidity and Monaco’s high-scoring, open matches, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We’re particularly confident in Both Teams To Score – Yes, given Monaco’s leaky defence and attacking threat, plus Spurs’ ability to create chances.
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Both Teams To Score – Yes | 1/2 @ Bet365 (66.7%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Both teams have scored in the last eight games featuring Monaco, a record stretching back to the end of August. The same can be said of five of Tottenham’s last six matches, with both teams scoring in all of their last four matches. There have also been five meetings between these two sides and both teams have scored in every single one of them. |
| Tottenham Win | 13/10 @ Bet365 (43.5%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Monaco have gone four games without a win, although they have drawn three of those. They’ve picked up just one point from their opening two Champions League games and have fallen to seventh in Ligue 1. By contrast, Tottenham have lost just one of their last eight games, although that loss did come at the weekend. They are unbeaten in the Champions League this season, drawing with Bodo/Glimt and beating Villarreal and we fancy them to continue their good start to their European campaign. |

Monaco vs Tottenham match odds
How both teams head into Monaco vs Tottenham
Monaco haven’t enjoyed the past few weeks of action, losing against Lorient before three draws in a row, against Man City, Nice and Angers. The one saving grace for them is that they’ve still been scoring in this run, finding the net six times, but they’ve been conceding at a similar rate, seeing their defence breached eight times. That’s been a theme that has hounded their season, they’ve scored 20 goals in all competitions but conceded 19 times.
Tottenham have been performing well, with only a couple of results letting them down along the way. They’ve lost only twice this season, slender defeats against Bournemouth and Aston Villa, and have drawn three of their last six to leave them in sixth place in the Premier League. They’ve managed to score 17 goals in all competitions and conceded nine times. Things could definitely be worse for Tottenham but they’ll need to bounce back from another frustrating loss.
Season Form & Standings
Monaco have struggled to find defensive stability, sitting 30th after two matches with a -3 goal difference. Tottenham have enjoyed a steadier start, ranked 9th, undefeated and with a positive goal difference. Form trends suggest Spurs are in a stronger place, while Monaco must shore up their back line.

Monaco team news
Eric Dier will miss out on a game against his old club after picking up a hamstring injury. Lukas Hradecky, Christian Mawissa, Vanderson, Denis Zakaria and Lamine Camara will join Dier on the sidelines, whilst Paul Pogba is lacking match fitness and is unlikely to feature.

Tottenham have injury problems of their own, with Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie have joined the likes of James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke on the sidelines. Ben Davies, Yves Bissouma and Radu Dragusin will also miss out whilst Mathys Tel won’t feature after being left out of Tottenham’s Champions League squad.

Conclusion
Will Tottenham’s defensive structure and midfield control outclass Monaco’s attacking threat at the Stade Louis II, or can the hosts find a way through? Given Monaco’s leaky defence and Spurs’ consistency, backing Both Teams To Score at 1/2 with Bet365 stands out as the top value pick for this high-stakes European tie.
