Monaco and Aston Villa square off against each other at Stade Louis II in what is expected to be an interesting Champions League game. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to recover from back-to-back losses to Benfica (2-3) and Arsenal (0-3), but they will have a big fish to fry against Unai Emery’s troops. As Monaco failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to rock-bottom Montpellier at the weekend, home win should not be considered. Both Christian Mawissa and Wilfried Singo are back from suspension, while duo Balogun – Diatta remain in the recovery room.
The Villans, on the other hand, showed character in a Premier League draw with Arsenal, with the team coming from two goals behind to grab something from the match. Given Monaco’s four-game winless run in all competitions, we predict that Ollie Watkins and Co. are going to emerge triumphant in Tuesday’s clash. Diego Carlos is banned for the match, while all Ross Barkley, John McGinn and Pau Torres continue to miss out with injuries
