Górnik Zabrze vs Monaco: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Zabrze has recently lost to Lech in every competition – in the battle for first place in the 2025/2026 Ekstraklasa and in the cup final. After a short summer break, they also lost to their Poznań rivals, 1-3, in the Super Cup. However, so far in the new league season, they have a perfect record: three wins out of three opening rounds.
The Poles started their campaign in the Champions League, but were immediately drawn against Fenerbahçe. The Turkish side scored one more goal: Górnik lost 0-1 in Istanbul and drew in the return leg. The same scenario repeated itself against Ferencváros, this time in the Europa League. Again, after a minimal away defeat, they drew 1-1 at home. It all came down to an own goal in the 82nd minute.
The team from the casino principality changed managers last year, after the season had already started. The results did not improve: they finished down in seventh place in Ligue 1. This summer, Filipe Luís took over, and the squad is still undergoing changes, with active sales – Ouattara, Camara, and Akliouche have left, but new signings have arrived as well.
