Pogoń Szczecin
- Pogoń Szczecin are on a two-game winning streak after beating MKS Cracovia Kraków 2-0 away before overcoming Motor Lublin 3-1 at home in the first few rounds of the 2026-2027 season.
- Portowcy have made a sharp start in the Polish top-flight and currently sit 4th in the standings with 6 points from 3 matches.
- Oscar García's men have a Spanish identity with a clear approach of possession and build-up, but they're also a pressing team that set many triggers for their opponents in the middle third.
Wisła Kraków
- Biała Gwiazda started off their season with a 2-0 home victory over Wisła Płock, but lost 2-1 away to KS Górnik Zabrze earlier this afternoon.
- Mariusz Jop's men also play an aggressive game of pressing high and they'll look to release Jordi Sánchez at every opportunity.
Key Players
- Jordi Sánchez - Jordi Sánchez has 5 goals in 4 Ekstraklasa 2026-2027 appearances for Wisła and has also scored 5 of his team's 8 goals across their last 5 competitive matches.
- Attila Szalai
- Pogoń's main weapon is Attila Szalai, who has scored 1 goal in 3 Ekstraklasa 2026-2027 games.
- Szalai is a threat from dead-ball situations as a member of the back line, which could be an advantage for the home team, who will be keen to take the game to Wisła.
Betting Insights
- Wisła Kraków are listed as the outsider to win at 2.65 against a Pogoń Szczecin side that are 2.38 favorites, and the draw is set at 3.65.
- Both teams to score at 1.55 looks like a very low odds, which suggests that this will be an open game.
Prediction
This could be a tight battle, but I'm backing the visitors to nick it after the one sting they managed in the 2-1 away win over Pogoń Szczecin in the Puchar Polski 2023/2024, the last head-to-head between the two teams.
