Sandecja play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-4 to Odra Opole (placed 16th). That defeat was their first after four consecutive league rounds winning points. As you can tell from the result, the match against Odra Opole was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
