Team Analysis
In the second half of October, a new week brings a wave of cup competitions. Starting from Tuesday, there's a rich schedule of matches including the AFC Champions League, UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League, and the English Championship. The competition is frequent and intense. "Huangba" has already done the homework, and there may be some good betting options midweek, where the double-anchor mechanism could be activated. The week started off strong, with Tuesday’s focus naturally on the Champions League. The carefully selected welfare match was set on the early kickoff, looking at Monaco’s performance in European competitions this season. Over the past weekend in Ligue 1, Monaco was held to a 0-0 draw at home against Lille after receiving a red card, allowing PSG to overtake them at the top of the table. In the Champions League, Monaco has secured one win and one draw in the first two rounds, including a highly valuable 2-1 home victory over Barcelona. Tonight, they continue to play at home, and after returning to the Champions League after many years, their motivation is unquestionable.

As for the visiting team, Red Star Belgrade, they are in a league of their own in their domestic competition. This season, they are aiming for the honor of a "10th consecutive title" and are in superb form with 10 wins and 1 draw. They also successfully qualified for the Champions League through the playoffs. However, they lost both of their opening matches, a 1-2 defeat to Benfica and a 0-4 away loss to Inter Milan. Clearly, the team's focus in the Champions League is not as high as Monaco's, but their experience in European competitions is considerable.

Odds Analysis
Monaco is making their league debut at home, and they have had a decent rest leading up to tonight's match. However, having played with ten men for 60 minutes due to a red card has taken a toll on their stamina. This season, their home record stands at 4 wins and 2 draws. In their match against Barcelona, they secured a surprising yet commendable 2-1 victory after their opponent received an early red card. With consecutive home games, there's no need to consider conserving energy for the weekend league fixtures; the Champions League is a top-tier competition. Two years ago, Monaco convincingly defeated Red Star 4-1, and despite the current data trending hot, starting with a low-pressure approach is a positive sign. Red Star has struggled to resist against top teams on the road, showcasing their vulnerability.

Pick: Monaco
