Lech Poznan
- KKS Lech Poznan are unbeaten in four competitive games (all comps), drawing twice and winning twice.
- Niels Frederiksen’s side have had some excellent results in December and January to go with some good performances at the end of 2025.
- The Polish boss has implemented a high-tempo, possession-based game that is played with the same intensity regardless of the formation.
- Lech are a team that will press you from the start and then play a controlled game to build up the phases of possession until they see the opportunity to force turnovers.
Lechia Gdansk
- Lechia Gdansk are on a mixed run, featuring high-scoring wins and draws and a couple of narrow friendly setbacks in January.
- John Carver, a seasoned Premier League coach, has brought a touch of pragmatism and tactical stability to Lechia and they have responded with some excellent attacking displays.
- Lechia will not get many chances to play their game against Lech because the home side will not allow them to sit deep and wait.
- Lechia need the points to ensure they are not sucked into a relegation dogfight in 13th with 20 points from 18.
Head-to-Head
There have been 14 goals in the last three league meetings of these clubs, with Lech winning 4-3 away in July 2025.
Lechia’s defence hasn’t been water-tight this season and, as visitors, they will still be vulnerable to a Lech counter-attack.
Lech Poznan
- Mikael Ishak is Lech’s main goal scorer, having hit double figures in both Ekstraklasa and European play so far.
- The Swedish striker is the focal point of Lech’s attack, which is very fluid and can come at opponents from all directions.
- Luis Palma has provided some pace and penetration from the wings this season and looks a good value addition to the team, hitting the ground running in continental and friendly games.
Lechia Gdansk
Bohdan Viunnyk and Camilo Mena chipped in with goals and assists at Lechia’s winter camp, but the talisman is still Tomáš Bobček , who bagged a hat-trick in this game back in July 2025.
Betting Insights
- Bookies have Lech as favorites at 1.81 to Lechia’s long odds at 3.9 with the draw at 3.85, which seems about right to us because Lech have been the best club in this fixture over the years, although Lechia are capable of shocking them.
- Backing Both Teams To Score at 2.55 looks good given both sides’ recent results in this market and the fact that recent meetings have all seen goals at both ends.
Prediction
- Lech’s superior form, home advantage and historical dominance over Lechia have us favouring them to edge a close match against a side that can hurt them on the counterattack.
- Cold winter weather and a potentially heavy pitch could slow the tempo of this game, which would suit teams with physicality and adaptability, and could favour Lech if they adjust faster than a Lechia side that likes to keep their structure compact and hit teams on the break.
