This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Hammarby at Tele2 Arena when the Europa League tournament arrives in town and Lech Poznań with it. Read all about the 2nd Qualifying Round match here!
It's no vacation for neither Hammarby nor Lech Poznań as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Lech Poznań have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-1-0 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Lech Poznań, who are travelling more than 1300 kilometers to play this game.
Hammarby form and stats
Hammarby have not come this way in the Europa League without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Puskas.When playing at home in the Allsvenskan, Hammarby have managed 3 wins, 5 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 9 games. So many draws at home for Hammarby, an amazing four in a row now.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Hammarby, who played 2-2 against Helsingborg. That match was also played at this venue (Tele2 Arena). In the preceding match a 4-0 victory visiting IFK Göteborg.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Hammarby have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won three, drawn zero and lost one.
The manager S. Billborn will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AIK in only four days.
Hammarby are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. Hammarby have conceded 9 in these home matches.
Lech Poznań form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Valmiera / BSS in order to reach 2nd Qualifying Round of Europa League. Poznań was sent out of Europa League in the 3rd qualifying round last season, when Genk turned out to be too strong.The Ekstraklasa season is young and Lech Poznań have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Slask Wrocaw in their previous outing. The Ekstraklasa match ended in a draw 3-3. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Wisla Plock in the Ekstraklasa.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Slask Wrocaw was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lech Poznań playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were two Poznań wins, three draws and five defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Poznań are hosting Warta Poznan in the Ekstraklasa only four days away.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Lech Poznań has managed 4 goals and let in 5 from 2 matches.
