Pogon (home)
- Pogon have lost 3 straight games, including a 3-4 home defeat to Lechia Gdansk and 1-0 away loss to leaders Legia Warszawa.
- Pogon have had an indifferent start to the 2025-2026 Ekstraklasa campaign, sitting in 13th place with 10 points from 10 games, and the arrival of new head coach Tomasz Grzegorczyk in mid-September 2025 means there is still some tactical uncertainty about the team.
- Our Pogon Szczecin vs Piast Gliwice betting tips suggest that, as a possession-based team, Pogon like to use their fullbacks in an overlapping role, while the midfield is dynamic in terms of counter-pressing and running into wide areas to support the lone striker.
Piast (away)
- Piast have won their last 2 games, beating Termalica BB Nieciecza 4-2 at home and Korona Kielce II away in the Puchar Polski.
- Piast Gliwice are 17th in the Ekstraklasa with just 7 points from 8 matches, although Max Moelder has given the club a new lease of life since his appointment as head coach in July 2025.
- Moelder has brought a more high-tempo style to the struggling club, which now presses high up the field and looks to dominate territory rather than sit back and try to disrupt the opposition.
- Erik Jirka is Piast’s main man up front with 3 Ekstraklasa goals in 8 appearances, having scored 3 of Piast’s last 7 goals.
Key Players
Kamil Grosicki is the creative engine of the side, providing 6 assists in 10 Ekstraklasa appearances this season, but the danger man is Efthimios Koulouris with 3 goals in his last 4 appearances .
