Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Pogoń Szczecin in 6th and Lechia Gdańsk in 8th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Pogoń Szczecin form and stats
Pogoń Szczecin have collected 22 points from their Ekstraklasa home games so far after 6-4-5.
The spoils were shared in Szczecin's previous game, also at home. Visiting Lechia Gdańsk travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Pogoń Szczecin lost 0-4 at Lech Poznań's place.
This is expected to be a close game, with Szczecin perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pogoń Szczecin as a small favourite), we find seven games. Pogoń Szczecin has won two of these, drawn three and lost two.
Szczecin are traveling soon after this match as the Ekstraklasa match at Lech Poznań awaits in three days.
The Pogoń Szczecin fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 15 matches. From these home matches, Pogoń Szczecin have conceded only 14 goals.
Lechia Gdańsk form and stats
As the visiting team in Ekstraklasa matches, Lechia Gdańsk have produced an overall stat of 5-6-4 so far. One point away has become something of a habit for Lechia who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Lechia Gdańsk are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Pogoń Szczecin. A loss against Cracovia Kraków was the result prior to that, in a home game.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lechia playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were four Lechia Gdańsk wins, three draws and four defeats.
After this away game Lechia return home for a Ekstraklasa game against Piast Gliwice. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Lechia find the net regularly in their away games. 21 goals from 15 away fixtures in the league. Lechia's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Pogoń Szczecin - Lechia Gdańsk 1-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Szczecin won two games, three matches ended with a draw and Lechia Gdańsk has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourTop Goalscorers
