Monaco back in UCL against Crvena zvezda after Lille draw.
As AS Monaco aim to extend their unbeaten streak in all competitions, they'll face a determined Crvena Zvezda, eager to break their UEFA Champions League away game losing streak, in a high-stakes clash at Stade Louis II on Tuesday night.
Monaco
Monaco's unbeaten run across all competitions continues to impress, with the Ligue 1 leaders facing a test against Crvena Zvezda in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night. Alongside Paris Saint-Germain, they are one of the two teams in France to remain unbeaten in the top flight this season. Despite playing nearly 30 minutes with ten men, the Monégasques secured a goalless draw with Lille in their most recent outing on Friday.
It was the second draw in their last five matches across all competitions [WWDWD]. "After the red card, I saw no difference between Lille and us; in fact, I thought we were more dangerous," Adi Hütter noted following the game. A 2-1 home win over Barcelona and a 2-2 draw at Dinamo Zagreb have strengthened Monaco's solid start in the newly revamped Champions League format.
This season, the French side aims to win their first three games in a UEFA Champions League campaign for the first time since 2016-17, when they reached the semifinals. Although this will be Monaco's first-ever UCL meeting against Crvena Zvezda, both teams faced off twice in the Europa League group stage in 2022-23, with the Monégasques emerging victorious in both legs.
Hütter is expected to maintain a 4-2-3-1 formation, with 18-year-old Nigerian striker George Ilenikhena leading the attack. However, Folarin Balogun’s shoulder injury will keep him sidelined until late November, while defender Mohammed Salisu is out for the next few weeks due to a muscle injury. Midfielder Edan Diop remains on the sidelines as he recovers from a foot injury.
Crvena Zvezda
Crvena Zvezda has been impressive in the Super Liga, currently sitting at the top of the league. Their 5-1 win over Radnički Niš on Friday marked their fourth victory in the last five games across all competitions [WWLWW].
However, the Serbian side has struggled to replicate this form in the UEFA Champions League. A 2-1 defeat at home to Benfica and a 4-0 loss at Inter Milan have left them as one of the eight teams yet to register a point so far.
Things could get worse for the Star on Tuesday, as they have a poor record on the road in the UCL. The Serbian side has lost each of their last 11 away games in the competition.
Manager Vladan Milojević will likely align with the opposition's 4-2-3-1 formation, with Bruno Duarte leading the line.
