AS Monaco's recent form has been inconsistent, with a 0-2 defeat to Coventry in their last friendly match. This comes after dominating Liverpool and Getafe in their previous friendly matches. However, their coach, Filipe Luis, will be hoping to get his team's season off to a strong start.
Gornik Zabrze, on the other hand, has been in impressive form in the Polish Championship, winning three games in a row. The Polish club was promoted to the Ligue Conférence after losing to Ferencvaros in the 3rd preliminary round of the Ligue Europa. This experience in European competition could give them an edge in the qualifying playoffs.
The match against Gornik Zabrze is a crucial one for AS Monaco, as it precedes their return to the Ligue 1 season. They will face Havre on Sunday in the first day of Ligue 1, and a win against Gornik Zabrze would be a welcome boost for the team. A victory would be ideal for launching the 2026-2027 season and Filipe Luis's mandate as coach of AS Monaco.
The match against Gornik Zabrze will take place on Thursday at 20:00 in Poland.
