Lech Poznań form and stats

6-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Ekstraklasa numbers at home for Lech Poznań so far this season.

The home club members saw a 2-2 draw versus Pogoń Szczecin last time out and are looking for a victory here. A painful moment in the game against Pogoń Szczecin was the missed penalty kick from Ishak in the 40th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Skóraś (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.02/10. Skóraś hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 29 successful passes (of 32 total).

In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Widzew Lodz.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Lech Poznań matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 3 draws and 2 defeats (from 6 games).

Poznań are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 13 games. On the other hand, Lech Poznań have conceded 14 goals.
