In an upcoming fixture that promises to be a captivating encounter, Lech Poznan is set to host Piast Gliwice at the Enea Stadion in Pozna艅. Lech Poznan, currently sitting at 3rd place in the Ekstraklasa league table, will look to capitalize on their home advantage and continue their pursuit of the top spot. On the other side, Piast Gliwice, positioned at 13th, will aim to upset the odds and climb away from the lower reaches of the table. With both teams having contrasting seasons so far, this match is poised to be an intriguing battle.
Lech Poznan
Lech Poznan has shown a strong performance this season with 32 points from 17 games, which includes 9 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses. Their recent form has been relatively stable as indicated by their last five games results "WLDWD", showcasing a blend of resilience and occasional brilliance. In their last fixture, they secured a narrow victory against Korona Kielce with a 1-0 scoreline, demonstrating their ability to grind out results when necessary.
Playing at their home stadium, where they have historically been strong, Lech Poznan will be looking to leverage their home crowd's support. The team's goal difference stands at +8, reflecting a decent attacking output coupled with a solid defensive record. Furthermore, their recent head-to-head record against Piast Gliwice is impressive with 4 wins and 1 draw in their last encounters, suggesting psychological edge going into this match.
Piast Gliwice
Piast Gliwice's season has been marred by an excess of draws, which is evident from their last five consecutive games ending in stalemates "DDDDD". With only 2 wins this season but a low loss count of 2 as well, they have become the Ekstraklasa's draw specialists. Their most recent game against Jagiellonia ended goalless, highlighting potential issues in converting chances into goals.
The team's goal difference is neutral (0), indicating that while they have managed to keep their defense tight, scoring goals has been a challenge. Playing away from home against Lech Poznan could prove to be a daunting task for Piast Gliwice given their opponent's strong home record and past dominance in this fixture. Their historical performance against Lech Poznan does not bode well either, with no wins and only 1 draw in recent meetings.
