National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Świt Skolwin or Legia Warszawa that keep their silverware dream alive.
Legia Warszawa could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ekstraklasa game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Piast Gliwice. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Świt Skolwin form and stats
Skolwin was eliminated in the 16th finals last season in the Polish Cup.Świt Skolwin travelled for their previous game, a trip to Zawisza Bydgoszcz that ended 1-1.
In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Batyk Gdynia.The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Legia Warszawa to win. Let's see if Skolwin are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: one game found revealing zero Świt Skolwin wins, zero draws and one defeat.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Świt Skolwin as they are travelling to their away game against Jarota Jarocin in the 3. Liga. That match is three days after this one.
Legia Warszawa form and stats
Last season their Polish Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.There's been little loot from Legia Warszawa's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the Ekstraklasa. Legia Warszawa only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. A depressing four defeats in a row for Legia Warszawa in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Warta Poznan.
There might be some fixture complaints from Warszawa as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Ekstraklasa match against Piast Gliwice (1-4). Legia Warszawa had apparently made the football gods angry before the game against Piast Gliwice, losing the match after hitting the woodwork three times. Midfielder Josué was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.3. Josué hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 68 successful passes (of 83 total).
Prior to that match, the Warszawa manager C. Michniewicz faced defeat when travelling to Napoli and losing 0-3.As mentioned earlier, Legia Warszawa will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in three wins (three by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and zero surprising defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Legia Warszawa are hosting Pogon Szczecin in the Ekstraklasa only three days away.
The attacking power of Legia Warszawa when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Legia Warszawa have conceded 12 goals in these games.
