Despite the always cozy atmosphere in the Principality, it is in a slightly more electric atmosphere than usual that AS Monaco approaches its third Champions League match this season, against Tottenham, this Wednesday evening (kick-off at 9 p.m.). The Monegasques' first two outings left very contrasting impressions. Humiliated in Belgium by Bruges (1-4), ASM had the merit of reacting by snatching a draw against Erling Haaland's Manchester City, just before the international break (2-2).
Water has flowed under the bridges since then, and Adi Hütter left his place on the bench Sébastien Pocognoli. Arriving on the Rock after having cut his teeth at Union Saint-Gilloise, this young Belgian technician has his work cut out for him, as the Monegasques' disappointing draw against Angers on Saturday in Ligue 1 (1-1) reminded us. Stuck at the bottom of the table, Monaco is therefore hoping to achieve its first success in this phase of the League, but Tottenham, who have had a successful start to the campaign, will be another English opponent to take seriously. It will be without Eric Dier, former Spurs defender and injured for several weeks.
The expected compositions
Monaco : Kohn; Salisu, Kehrer, Henrique; Diatta, Coulibaly, Teze, Ouattara; Akliouche, Fati; Balogun.
Tottenham : Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall; Johnson, Richarlison, Simons.
Where to watch the match?
