Lechia won their last game, 4-3 versus Arka Gdynia played at home. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Piast Gliwice.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Arka Gdynia was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? It's hard not to mention Flávio Paixão's lethal finishing against Arka Gdynia. three goals were a big reason for the important victory. The end of the last match, against Arka Gdynia, was very satisfying as Flávio Paixão scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
