Zaglebie Sosnowiec Prediction
Zaglebie Sosnowiec sit bottom of the Ekstraklasa with just 12 points to their name as they’re currently enduring a seven match run without a win which includes five defeats. This miserable run of results has seen Zaglebie fail to score in 4 of these last 7 matches and they face another tough fixture when second placed Legia Warsaw come to town on Thursday night.
Five losses from their last six matches against Jagiellonia Bialystok, Wisla Plock, Zagelbie Lubin, Pogon Szczecin and a 6-0 thrashing by Lech Poznan have held the hosts back from starting to make any kind of revival, while their home record stands at 2-3-4 14/20.
The hosts possess the worst defensive record at home in the division having conceded 20 goals, and with just one clean sheet on home turf so far this season along with losing their last three on the trot, the hosts will have their work cut out to get anything out of this clash I fancy.
Legia Warsaw Prediction
Legia Warsaw currently sit in second place in the Polish Ekstraklasa but they could move level on points with league leaders Lechia Gdansk with a win here tonight. The visitors have won three of their last four with victories over Zaglebie Lubin, Korona Kielce and Piast Gliwice along with a point off Lechia Gdansk in a 0-0 draw away from home.
Away from home, Legia Warsaw possess a record of 5-3-1 13/6 as the visitors have produced some solid results on their travels where they’ve made themselves a very hard unit to beat. Indeed, Legia Warsaw have lost just twice in their last 18 matches on the road while this term, the visitors have registered the joint highest wins on the road in the division to date.
Legia Warsaw also possess a few dangerous attacking personnel in the shape of midfielders Kucharczyk and Cafu (4 goals apiece) along with forward Lopez (8 goals), and they look set to create further problems for Zaglebie Sosnowiec on Thursday night.
Betting Tips Verdict
Zaglebie have been poor in recent weeks while Legia Warsaw are enjoying a solid run of form.
