Pogon Szczecin Prediction
Pogon Szczecin occupy the last of the Championship Round positions as they sit in 8th place but most importantly, they hold home advantage for this Thursday evening clash where they’ve posted a solid home record of 6-2-2 18/9 so far this season in the Polish Ekstraklasa.
Pogon Szczecin have lost two of their last seven matches but both of these defeats were inflicted upon them away from home at Piast Gliwice and Cracovia Krakow, while on home turf the hosts have put together an extremely impressive six-match winning streak with wins over Wisla Krakow, Wisla Plock, Lech Poznan, Legia Warsaw, Miedz Legnica and Zaglebie Sosnowiec.
In addition, this winning sequence have seen Pogon score a total of 14 goals and concede just 2 in reply, a run that also includes four clean sheets. Midfielders Drygas (6 goals) and Majewski (3 goals) have provided valuable support for striker Buksa (6 goals).
The hosts have lost just twice in their last 15 home matches.
Slask Wroclaw Prediction
Slask Wroclaw occupy a place in the lower reaches of the Polish Ekstraklasa as they sit third from bottom in 14th place and some 10 points adrift of Thursday evening’s hosts, Pogon Szczecin ahead of this encounter.
The visitors have been unable to put together any sort of meaningful winning streak so far this season and their predicament is underlined when looking at their recent results in the Polish top flight; six matches without a win, and they’ve managed just one win from their last nine matches overall which was a 5-0 romp away at 12th placed Miedz Legnica.
Slask Wroclaw possess an away record of 2-4-3 17/15 which includes wins at Jagiellonia Bialystok and the aforementioned win at Miedz Legnica, but too many losses have undone their good work.
The visitors come into this match without a win from their last three matches on their travels having drawn at Gornik Zabrze and Cracovia Krakow 2-2 and 1-1 respectively along with a 2-0 loss at Lech Poznan last time out.
Betting Tips Verdict
Pogon Szczecin should again have the upper hand over Slask Wroclaw but I advise using the handicap on the hosts here.
