The match is a crucial one for AS Monaco, who aim to qualify for the Ligue Conférence league phase. They have a slight advantage going into the game, having won the first leg in Poland 3-2. This success is all the more notable given that AS Monaco were playing their first official match of the season, while their opponents had already played eight matches.
The team's positive dynamic is evident, having made a strong start to the season with a 1-0 win over Havre in their Ligue 1 debut. AS Monaco will look to build on this momentum as they face Gornik Zabrze in a match that will determine the outcome of their season.
