Key Players

• Mikael Ishak
  • Lech’s Mikael Ishak should do well in this fixture with his 12 league goals in 20 games making him the most dangerous player on the field on Saturday.
• Sebastian Bergier
  • Sebastian Bergier is Widzew’s top scorer this season with 11 goals in 19 league matches.
  • He has only scored twice in Widzew’s last three games, a period in which they only scored three goals.

Betting Insights

• Lech are the favourite to win this game and the 2.5 price for an away victory is excellent value considering Poznan’s current form and the firepower they carry.
• Niels Frederiksen has made them a much more dangerous side since his appointment, with the high-pressing, vertical style the Dane has introduced seeing them net goals in droves in recent weeks.
• Lech’s last league game saw them edge out Rakow Czestochowa 4-3, which indicates they will get on the scoresheet at least once in Lodz.
• The odds favour goals at both ends of the field - 1.54 is a relatively short price - but Over 2.5 Goals looks good at 1.69.
• The main betting selection is an away win with both teams to score and Over 2.5 goals.

Prediction

• There will be a battle of styles for sure on Saturday afternoon, but Lech’s form, attacking depth and tactical discipline should see them win this one.
• I’m going to back an away win with both teams to score and over 2.5 goals for the main selection.
