⚽ Polish League - Ekstraklasa Prediction & Discussion Thread ⚽

[adamvp]

Lech Poznan lost to Pogon Szczecin 0:4 2 days ago. It is very big shame  for them and for polish  football as their performane is so weak. And as no team in polish league can keep good form within whole season :/

[adamvp]

Polish  League is a crap indeed.
Another  strange result today. Legia, current polish champion lost to one of worst  teams - Stal Mielec.
There is not one solid team in this League: /

[cygan]

these are really 2 away wins that nobody expected 
hopefully rakow czestochowa can benefit from this and extend their lead at the top of the table with a win tomorrow

[cygan]

now the last matchday (14th) before the winter break is complete.
at the top, 3 clubs have now distanced themselves from the rest. and at the bottom, it looks very bleak for podbeskidzie...

[cygan]

here are 2 news from the polish ekstraklasa...

[adamvp]

16 matchdays left, so everything may change!
There was many cases in the past that teams, which was performing very well in autumn round played very weak in spring.
It depends very much  what changes will be in teams, who will make good transfers, who will have good place to train etc

Jesper Karlström has now been signed by lech poznan as the successor to Jakub Moder, who left during the winter break for the english premier league.

A lot has changed since the beginning of the Ekstraklasa but unfortunately those who dominate the Ekstraklasa are back on top and they started not in the best of the ways.This shows that this league needs further improvement in the sense that it needs more teams who can keep up with Legia Warsawa.I think that Legia will end up winning the title again although anything can happen in the remaining 16 games of the tournament.

some transfers have now been completed during the winter break in the polish ekstraklasa:

Loaned to Lech Poznan in the summer of 2020, the 26-year-old Croatian goalkeeper Marko Malenica will play in the Hungarian Diósgyőri VTK. As announced, Kolejorz shortened the contract of loaning a player from NK Osijek and let him go.

For days another footballer is to leave Legia Warszawa. We are talking about the striker Jose Kante, who is one step from moving to China. Polish champion on the transfer of the representative of Guinea is to earn money.

here is a small and interesting update of the current market values in the polish ekstraklasa

Transfermarkt has updated the market values of the Ekstraklasa, reassessing 493 players. Both the winners and the losers include younger players, primarily from Europa League participants Lech Poznan. The biggest upgrade, meanwhile, is received by Brighton’s Jakub Moder, a very talented midfielder who is no longer active in the league.

Some very interesting transfers, this spring should be very interesting round.

Today Slask Wroclaw played against invisible opponents:

Well, such stuff sometimes happens, considering that it's just middle of February, it's nothing surprising to see snow now. But damn, they didn't even used red ball. Game ended 1:1, despite that Wisla had advantage, playing 11 vs 10 for almost 30 minutes.

omg
why didn't the opponent change to other jerseys (all another colours, but not white ) and what kind of referee was that who let the game continue with a white ball?!

by the way
two another transfers are done in this league:
