Preview

Match preview

Monaco host Górnik Zabrze in the UEFA Europa Conference League following an eventful first encounter between the two sides on 20 August 2026, which saw the French side claim a 3-2 victory in Poland. Monaco have carried solid form across their recent outings, picking up four wins in their last five matches, including a 1-0 away victory against Le Havre and a 3-2 win over Liverpool, alongside a 2-0 defeat against Coventry.

Górnik Zabrze travel looking to overturn the first-leg deficit. The Polish side have shown attacking capability, finding the net in four of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 2-1 win over Wisła Kraków and a 3-1 away victory against Radomiak Radom, with their recent losses coming against Monaco (2-3) and Ferencvárosi TC (0-1).

While Monaco hold the aggregate lead and home advantage, squad depth will be tested with eight players sidelined through injury and suspension, including F. Balogun, T. Minamino, A. Fati, and suspended defender C. Mawissa. Górnik Zabrze have a clean bill of availability reported and demonstrated in the first leg that they can breach Monaco's backline, setting up a competitive return fixture.

Confidence

Monaco enter with the advantage after winning the away leg 3-2 and have won four of their last five matches overall. However, significant squad absences—including injuries to F. Balogun, T. Minamino, M. Salisu, and the suspension of C. Mawissa—warrant a measured approach. Górnik Zabrze proved their scoring ability in the reverse fixture, making the Home or Draw double chance the most solid angle for this European clash.
