Monaco vs Górnik Zabrze: Match preview
In the first meeting between these teams, which took place last week, Monaco managed to secure a positive result. This is very important, as the team gained an advantage ahead of the home leg, which clearly takes some of the pressure off before the match on their own turf. Monaco beat their opponents 3-2.
In addition to their victory in the first leg of the qualifying play-offs, Monaco have also made a strong start to the new Ligue 1 season. The Monegasques beat Le Havre 1-0 away from home, and after the Conference League tie, Monaco will host Marseille.
Górnik Zabrze have played more matches in the new Ekstraklasa season. The team have already played three games and collected the maximum nine points. Moreover, they have two matches in hand and could not only catch Legia but move several points clear of them.
