Lech Poznań form and stats

3-6-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Ekstraklasa numbers at home for Lech Poznań so far this season.

The fans are hoping that Lech Poznań will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Ekstraklasa game against Raków Częstochowa (placed 3rd). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Legia Warszawa that ended 0-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Poznań have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost four.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Poznań as they are travelling to their away game against Podbeskidzie in the Ekstraklasa. That match is three days after this one.

The Poznań fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 12 matches. On the other hand, Poznań have conceded 14 goals.
