We had to go to the other end of the continent, in the exotic setting of a small town located in the polar circle, to see Monaco unlock its victory counter in
Champions League this season. Thanks to a success as short as it was narrow in the lair of Bodo/Glimt (1-0), the Principality club has finally launched its European campaign. In the nailbits for the top 24, Monaco must now confirm.
And that’s good, since another exotic trip awaits the Monegasques this Wednesday, for their 5th match in this phase of the League. The ASM travels to Cyprus to challenge Paphos, one of the little thumbs of the competition (kick-off at 6:45 p.m.). An opponent not to be underestimated since Paphos and the Monegasques are neck and neck in the standings. Despite the return of Paul Pogba to the field, the defeat in Rennes on Saturday (1-4) plunged Monaco back into doubt. A response is awaited in Cyprus.
The expected compositions
Paphos : Michail – Correia, Luckassen, David Luiz, Pileas – Sunjic, Goldar, Pêpê – Orsic, Dragomir (c), Dimata.
Monaco : Hradecky – Teze, kehrer, Salisu, Caio Henrique, Ouattara – Zakaria (c), Golovin – Akliouche, Fati, Biereth.
Where to watch the match?
This Champions League match between Paphos and AS Monaco will be broadcast this Wednesday on Canal + Foot, from 6:45 p.m. It will also be possible to watch it on the group’s streaming platform, MyCanal.
