Monaco to face Gornik Zrbaze in Conference League play-offs as Filipe Luis debuts | OneFootball

AS Monaco will face Gornik Zrbaze in the UEFA Europa Conference League play-offs, their first competitive outing of the season on Thursday 20 August. The tie will also mark the debut of new head coach Filipe Luis.

Ferencvaros beat Zabrze 1-0 at home then drew 1-1 away, advancing from the Europa League third qualifying round. According to Nice-Matin, that result means Monaco will meet the Polish vice-champions in the Conference League play-offs.

The first leg will be in Zabrze, with the return in Monaco a week later. Kick-off times have not yet been confirmed.

Midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly is suspended for the opener. He was sent off at the Parc des Princes last season in the Champions League play-off second leg against PSG, which finished 2-2.

Monaco lost the first leg 3-2 and were eliminated over two legs, and have not played in Europe since.
