Zagłębie Lubin form and stats

Zagłębie Lubin have collected 10 points from their Ekstraklasa home games so far after 3-1-3. Zagłębie has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager D. Zuraw and the players.

F. Starzynski was the last player to score a league goal for Zagłębie and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Zagłębie Lubin haven't scored in 264 minutes.

Zagłębie faced defeat in their previous match, away at Arka Gdynia (1-2). The penalty miss from Filip Starzyński in the defeat against Arka Gdynia was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Heartbreak before that as Zagłębie Lubin lost 0-4 at Raków Częstochowa's place.

The Zagłębie Lubin fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. On the other hand, Zagłębie have conceded 9 goals.

Poznań have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Filip Bednarek. It's been 191 minutes since they last conceded in Ekstraklasa.

It's the second away game in a row for Lech Poznań, but there's smiles all around after the 4-0 victory versus Garbarnia Krakow in the Polish Cup last time out. As you can tell from the results above, Poznań was very dominant against Garbarnia Krakow, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Alan Czerwiński, Filip Marchwiński, Radosław Murawski and Artur Sobiech providing the goals.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Warta Poznan.

Lech Poznań are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 7 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Poznań as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
