Zagłębie Lubin
- Zagłębie Lubin are in 5th place in the 2025-2026 Ekstraklasa with 28 points from 18 matches, firmly in the mix for European places.
- Zagłębie will be in better spirits than their opponents going into this game as they have won three of their last five, beating Górnik Zabrze (2-0), Widzew Łódź (2-1) and Raków (1-0) with two 0-0 draws coming against Lech Poznan and Legia Warsaw.
GKS Dospel Katowice
- GKS Dospel Katowice are hovering above the relegation zone in 16th place with 20 points from 17 games.
- GKS Katowice’s form has been inconsistent - they are coming into this off the back of a 2-0 victory over Pogoń but have been beaten by Raków (0-1) and Piast (1-3) in their last four.
- GKS Katowice are a pragmatic side built around the talents of striker Bartosz Nowak, who is their primary attacking threat.
Head-to-Head
- Zagłębie Lubin have dominated the head-to-head in recent years, winning the majority of modern-era meetings in all competitions, including a 7-0 thrashing in 2004.
- The last three meetings have all been tight - either one goal or a draw.
Zagłębie Lubin
- Adam Radwański is the heartbeat of their team - a creative playmaker and goal scorer who has been a key factor in their success this season.
- Marcel Reguła is the new rising star in midfield - bringing energy and creativity to their attack and a real point of difference to their play.
- Dominik Hładun’s fitness is still a question-mark for Zagłębie, so coach Ojrzyński may be forced to rotate him with Jasmin Burić - which would be bad news for Katowice.
GKS Dospel Katowice
- Bartosz Nowak is their primary attacking threat.
- GKS have some experienced strikers like Adam Zreľák, Ilia Shkurin and Eman Marković.
