Górnik Zabrze to face AS Monaco in Conference League playoffs

Górnik Zabrze is set to face AS Monaco in the final playoff round of the UEFA Europa Conference League at Arena Zabrze. The match represents a critical opportunity for the Polish side to reach the tournament's group stage.

AS Monaco enters the tie under new management led by Filipe Luís, but faces significant squad challenges. Key players including Ansu Fati, Folarin Balogun, and Aleksandr Golovin are expected to be absent due to injury or suspension. Additionally, the club has officially announced the departure of Paul Pogba following a recurring thigh injury.

Górnik Zabrze has seen mixed results in recent European qualifying rounds but maintains a strong home record. The squad has received a boost with the return of midfielder Jarosław Kubicki to the roster. Despite the high stakes, ticket sales for the match have been slower than expected, with over 10,000 seats still available.
