Lech Poznań form and stats

Overall Ekstraklasa stats at home this season for Lech Poznań are 4-6-4 (wins-draw-losses).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Stal Mielec (1-2).

The victory against Wisa Krakow came after Pedro Tiba's winning goal. The Lech Poznań manager M. Skorża was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 60th minute.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Poznań matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and one defeat (from three games).

Lech Poznań are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 14 games. 16 goals have been conceded.

Górnik Zabrze form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (8) away in Ekstraklasa, are W4-D3-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Ekstraklasa. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Górnik are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cracovia Krakow wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Górnik playing away, we found five games. Results were zero away wins, three draws and two home wins.

The attacking power of Górnik when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Górnik as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Górnik Zabrze - Poznań 1-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Poznań wins - draws - Górnik Zabrze wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
