Pogon Szczecin (home)
- Pogon Szczecin and Arka Gdynia sit level on 22 points in the Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 standings with Pogon in 14th after 20 games and Arka, who have a game in hand, 15th.
- Thomas Thomasberg’s team have played in a more structured and possession-based way since the Dane’s appointment as manager in September 2025.
- The new approach has made them more disciplined in their pressing, which in turn has allowed them to control the midfield spaces and have enough possession to hurt opponents with their pacy and direct counter-attacks.
- Kamil Grosicki is the leader of their line with six goals in 20 league appearances this season.
- Sam Greenwood has been their most clinical player in recent games, scoring two of their last four goals in his last five appearances.
Arka Gdynia (away)
- Arka are winless away from home in Ekstraklasa 2025/2026, losing eight and drawing one of their nine away games.
- Dawid Szwarga has made the Arka Gdynia defence much harder to break down since he took over as manager in December 2024.
- The team sit deep, are very compact and have a few pacey players who can really threaten on the counter-attack.
- Eduardo Espiau is their most reliable goal threat, with five goals in 17 appearances for the club this season.
- Arka’s 23 goals conceded on the road in nine Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 away games is a pretty leaky record.
- Both teams have drawn with Radomiak Radom in their last three games and a tight, cagey game looks likely again.
