Rakow Preview – Can Rakow go one step better this term?
Friday’s hosts, Rakow, finished last season as runners-up in the Polish Ekstraklasa, finishing five points behind the title-winners, Lech Poznan, but the hosts will be aiming to go one step better this time around, starting against the other side in Poznan, Warta Poznan, in this season curtain-raiser.
Rakow finished last season’s campaign in strong fashion as the hosts lost just once in their final 16 matches which included a 1-0 win away at Lech Poznan, while results at home were also impressive as Rakow were unbeaten in their last nine home games as well.
Warta Poznan Preview – Can Warta Poznan improve consistency?
Warta Poznan finished last season in 11th place in the Ekstraklasa standings and their disappointing lower half finish was attributed to their inconsistent streak which enabled the visitors to pick up just two wins from their final games of last term.
In addition, Warta Poznan lost three of these last five matches, losing to Lechia Gdansk, Piast Gliwice and Lech Poznan, but they will be hoping they can build upon their promising finish to the season away from home which saw them win four of their final five games on the road.
