If all the lights are green accounting, this start to the season is not easy in the ranks of theAS Monaco. Heckled by his opponents and rarely convincing in the game, the Principality's club has not yet found its cruising rate, as demonstrated by its slow and late success in Auxerre, Saturday (2-1). It is in this rather strange context that the Adi Hütter team will make its debut in the Champions League, this Thursday, in Bruges (kick -off at 6.45 p.m.).
A match that the Monegasques prepared in very special conditions. The trip to Belgium, which should have been made on Wednesday, was postponed the next morning because of an air conditioning problem on the Monegasques plane. One more obstacle for an ASM team that will do everything to avoid the trap set by Bruges. Pushed by its audience, this solid Belgian stable has often seduced in the prestigious competition. Monegasques are warned.
The expected compos
Bruges : Mignolet – Sabbe, Spileers, Mechele, Meijer – Onyedika, Stankovic – Carlos Forbs, Vanaken, Tzolis – Tresoldi.
Monaco : Köhn – Teze, Dier, Mawissa, Caio Henrique – Akliouche, Zakaria, Camara, Minamino – Balogun, Biereth.
