Pafos vs Monaco Predictions, Lineups & Betting Tips

Pafos play AS Monaco in the UEFA Champions League round five group phase, as 19th meet 20th.

The Cypriots have exceeded their expectations in Europe's elite club competition this year, having only lost to the great Bayern Munchen in their four games.

Monaco are one place ahead just on goal difference, which is slightly disappointing for them given their higher standards. They lost their Champions League opener badly to Club Brugge, then drew to both Manchester City and Tottenham.

Monaco's most recent European clash saw them earn their first victory of the season, 1-0 away against Bodo/Glimt.

We're predicting Pafos to win.
