"Starting with the hosts, making an immediate return to losing ways over the weekend as they eventually fell to a shock 3-1 defeat away at Lorient, Monaco have largely struggled to find any kind of stability over the past fortnight. Despite booking a lucrative Champions League return last season, Ali Hutter's men opened their European adventure with a nightmare performance on foreign soil."
"Blown away by Club Brugge as they slumped to a woeful 4-1 drumming, the former Eintracht Frankfurt boss will be bracing himself for a heavyweight challenge here. Pencilled in as a real underdog contender at the Stade Louis II on Wednesday night, Monaco have also shown some recent defensive struggles. Along with recording just a single clean sheet so far this season, Hutter's side have also shipped nine goals in their last three outings across all competitions."
Manchester City travel to the Stade Louis II to face Monaco in midweek Champions League action. Monaco lost 3-1 at Lorient and were beaten 4-1 by Club Brugge, revealing instability and defensive fragility. The side has one clean sheet this season and conceded nine goals in their last three matches across all competitions. Thilo Kehrer is available despite a red card at Lorient, Paul Pogo has yet to play since his summer move, Mika Biereth should lead the line, and Ansu Fati could make his first Monaco start after scoring four goals in three appearances. A betting tip predicts Erling Haaland to register over 1.5 shots on target at 21/20 with Luckster.
