Spurs seek three points

Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be hoping to turn last meeting’s draw into a win, with the reverse fixture ending 1-1 in France.

Erik Lamela dispatched that day and the attacker is 11/4 to strike again anytime, while Stephan El Shaarawy who equalised in the provincial state has very reasonable 9/4 odds in the same market.

Midfield hotshot and prospect Dele Alli was back on the scoresheet last time out and is available at 10/1 to break the deadlock. Against Qarabag in the 1-0 victory, it was Harry Kane who netted the winner and the striker is 4/1 to open the scoring.

Pochettino, though, has hinted at resting the striker, though will make an assessment prior to kick-off: “He is in the squad for tomorrow but we need to assess the situation,” the Argentine said. “We need to check some things before we decide the starting XI.”

Last time out for Monaco in Ligue 1 Ivory Coast attacker Lacina Traore bagged a brace and he is a great 2/1 anytime chance and is part of a forward line that can cause problems.

Pride at stake for the Bhoys

While Celtic are already out of the Europa League and set to finish bottom regardless of the result, they can prevent their hosts from securing top spot.

At 15/2 for the win though, these odds reflect the size of the task ahead of them. Ronny Deila’s side ran out 3-1 winners last time out in the league with Callum McGregor and Leigh Griffiths scoring before an own goal.

The duo are 8/1 and 10/1 to net anytime respectively, while the hosts have the threatening presence of Robin van Persie is a reason for the visitors to be worried, with the Dutchman offered at 3/1 to break the deadlock.

Alper Potuk and Gokhan Gonul found the net last time out in the league and are 5/1 and 8/1 respectively, while their leading marksman in the Europa League, Fernandao is 3/1 to open the scoring.
