Stade Louis II hosts a Group Stage grudge match as AS Monaco welcome Galatasaray on Tuesday, 9th December 2025 at 21:00 WAT / 20:00 CET.
The Monegasques, 23rd with 6 points after a 1-0 Ligue 1 win at Brest (Ben Seghir’s curler), fight for play-offs with leaky UCL defense (2.2 GA avg).

Monaco’s home hope (1W in 2) meets Galatasaray’s road roar (2W in 3 aways), but H2H is barren: lone 0-0 draw. Injuries: Monaco sans Embolo (knee); Galatasaray full squad.
