Monaco vs Tottenham Predictions: 22.09.2025 - Champions League Betting Tips

Monaco vs Tottenham

Tottenham travel to Monaco looking to maintain their unbeaten start to life in the Champions League group stage. However, despite a narrow defeat vs Aston Villa at the weekend, Thomas Frank immediately turns his attention to a tricky looking tie.

Can Spurs bounce back? Nathan Joyes provides his Champions League best bet.

More needed from Monaco

After beating Metz 5-2 back in September, Monaco have failed to win any of their next four matches.

A last minute Eric Dier penalty saw the French outfit sneak a point against Man City - but dropped points against Lorient, Nice and Anger are worrying signs.

In fact, Monaco haven't kept a clean sheet in a competitive fixture since May - five months have passed and little has changed defensively - something Spurs will be looking at.

With an awkward trip to Bodo/Glimt on the horizon, Monaco need to make their home games count - and for all their defensive issues, they've shown enough at the other end of the pitch that they can be a threat.

Spurs capable of winning

In classic Spurs fashion, it has been one step forward and one back this season under Thomas Frank. Their recent seven match unbeaten run came to an end after suffering a narrow loss against Aston Villa, but Spurs fans would have been hoping for more in certain games.

A seven match unbeaten run sounds like good form - but their 2-2 draw with Bodo/Glimt and 1-1 stalemate with Wolves aren't good enough results if Tottenham are to progress under their new head coach this season.

Still, they remain unbeaten in the Champions League - and won their opening match against Villarreal 1-0 - and there's certainly something to build from after stepping up from their Europa League success.

Monaco vs Tottenham H2H

Monaco and Tottenham haven't met since 2016, where the French side won both Champions League group stage matches 2-1.

Spurs the season before had beaten Monaco 4-1 in the Europa League, but that has been their only win in their five meetings to date. Monaco have won three of them. But more interestingly, both teams have always found the back of the net in this fixture.

Our Monaco vs Tottenham betting tip

Both teams enter this match lacking clean sheets, and with important points to fight for, this could be a classic Champions League tie that springs into life. Nathan Joyes anticipates an early goal to help set the tone for this one. Read his best bet below.

Goals predicted in France

Monaco (2/1 with Betfred) head into this match without Paul Pogba or Eric Dier due to injuries, but they can count on former Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun - who has scored two in his last three for club and country.

There's no doubt he will be well up for this match considering the opponents.

And while there is concern around Monaco's defensive record, they have been scoring for fun at home. In fact, they have scored at least two goals in each of their last five home matches.

They have also scored in their last 10 home matches - but haven't kept a clean sheet in their last seven.

Spurs (13/10 with Betano) arrive unbeaten on their travels this season (W3 D2) but have conceded five in their last three - who have also shown defensive vulnerability. With that in mind, over 2.5 match goals and both teams to score at 11/10 looks to be the best bet with neither trusted to get the job done.

TIP: Over 2.5 match goals and BTTS Yes at 11/10 with BetMGM.
