Facing great difficulties in recent weeks, on and off the field, the Monegasques are expected to round the corner for the reception of Juventus Turin on the occasion of the 8th day of the Champions League. Rolled out by Kylian Mbappé’s Real Madrid during their last European outing, AS Monaco was not reassured against Le Havre this weekend (0-0), bringing their series of matches without a victory in the league to 5.
Worse still, the Red and Whites still lost players to injuries. Wout Faes and Eric Dier have joined an already well-stocked infirmary. In a precarious situation, Belgian coach Sébastien Pocognoli, forced to tinker in defense, has no room for error.
Monaco will be guaranteed to play in the play-offs if they win on Wednesday, but in the event of a defeat or draw, they will have to rely on the results of other teams.
The Monaco – Juventus match is scheduled to kick off at 9 p.m. this Wednesday, January 28. The meeting will be followed live with commentary on our website leparisien.fr and on television on Canal + Sport 360.
