Monaco host Freiburg in first-ever European meeting

AS Monaco welcome SC Freiburg to the Stade Louis II on Thursday, 22 October 2026, as both sides look to build on winning starts in the UEFA Conference League.

The second matchday fixture will kick off at 19:00 GMT. It is the first competitive meeting between the two clubs.

Monaco began their European campaign with a 2-1 victory away to CSKA Sofia, while Freiburg opened with a 3-2 win against Jablonec. Both teams, however, suffered their first defeats of the season in domestic competition last weekend.

Monaco were beaten 1-0 at Lorient, while Freiburg lost 2-1 away to Bayer Leverkusen.

The results leave the sides level on three points in the competition. Monaco will start as favourites at home, with their attacking strength seen as a key advantage, although Freiburg’s defensive organisation and pressing could make the contest closely fought.

An open game is expected, with both teams considered capable of scoring. The prediction is for Monaco to secure a 2-1 victory.
