Lech Poznan
- Niels Frederiksen has done a great job to get Lech running as an effective unit since he took over on 1 July 2024.
- The Dane's clear blueprint for his side has been a possession-heavy style of play with either a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, high full-backs and quick switches of play as they aim to pull opposing blocks apart.
- In that time, they drew 1-1 with Arka Gdynia at home, saw off Radomiak Radom 1-3 away and held Wisla Plock to a 2-2 draw at home.
- Across all competitions, Lech are now a formidable home outfit, as they've won 2 and drawn 3 of their 5 games in front of their own fans.
- They're a solid, consistent team and that has helped them secure a 6-win and 4-draw unbeaten run across their last 10 games, although they are coming up against a solid opponent in this match.
Gornik Zabrze
- Michal Gasparik has also been in charge of Górnik since 1 July 2025 and the compact, pragmatic setup he's implemented has made them nasty opponents in transition.
- Górnik's last 5 outings have seen them win 3, draw 1 and lose 1.
- In that run, they drew 0-0 with WSG Tirol and beat FC Nordsjaelland 2-0 away from home, so they're in sharp form but a little less watertight than the hosts.
Head-to-Head
