⚽ Polish League - Ekstraklasa Prediction & Discussion Thread ⚽

[poldanmig]

I am interested in the careers of some players.
It was interesting to hear about the transfer of the Ukrainian striker Igor Kharatin to Legia (Warsaw). I think he was the initiator of this case.

on matchday 7, polish champion legia warsaw lost 0-1 at slask wroclaw. the ukrainian player you mentioned finist4x, Igor Kharatin, was substituted in the 67th minute of the game.
legia is now on the 16th place in the table but has 2 games less - if they win these games legia would climb up to the third place in the table.

This season Legia have dropped a lot of points and of course this is a big loss for them, last season out of 30 games running, Legia only suffered 4 defeats and they had the most goal difference last season compared to any other team which was 24, but it looks like the performance last season was not seen this season and even in 5 matches they lost 3 times and to be honest, even if they still have two games left, of course it will be very difficult for Legia to defend their title this season if indeed their performances can't be as consistent as last season then.
Legia next match is against Spartak Moscow this week in the Europa League continuation.

This is just the beginning of the season and Legia still has a lot of time to catch up and defend the championship. I believe that this team can afford it. The most difficult task seems to be the mental attitude of the players. The team must be aware that the matches in Mielec or Nieciecza are just as important for the club as the matches in Moscow or Naples. This is a difficult task for the coaching staff. Lech Poznań seems to be the toughest rival of Legia this season. Lech will host Wisła Kraków today, which is doing quite well and is playing nice, offensive football. It can be a very interesting meeting.

it will be an exciting duel between lech and wisla today. see lech poznan itself in a small favorite role here.

the 1-0 win against spartak moscow on wednesday should give the polish champion legia warsaw more momentum for the next league games

Legia victory against Spartak Moscow was really quite dramatic, whereas previously many football observers predicted that Spartak Moscow would win in that match, this is because apart from being the host, Spartak Moscow is in better than condition than Legia in their respective leagues.
In that match, Legia, who was keep depressed throughout the match, actually managed to score a goal in the last minute of the match.

[cygan]

on matchday 8 there were numerous goals in the 19 games. lech poznan already outclassed wisla krakow 5-0 at home on friday and underpinned their lead in the table.
legia won against the promoted team from leczna also at home 3-1
bruk-bet termalica is still with 3 points at the bottom of the table - this club will have a hard time to stay in the polish ekstraklasa

[cygan]

today there were 2 friday matches at the beginning of the 9th matchday.
the promoted club gornik leczna lost at home 0-4 against lechia gdansk and jagiellonia bialystok could celebrate a sensational home victory against the leader lech poznan (1-0)

I haven't taken keen interest in leagues like this one   but looking at the OP I see log and other headings like matches played,  goals scored etc having zeros, does this mean that this is when this league started for the year 2021/2022 in Poland?

There were actually some games played today, please guide me where I can find information like fixtures and scores for these games...Just hope they are in English and not polish.

the polish ekstraklasa has existed since 1927, in which some great top players came out. there is also a polish cup tournament every season - this tournament has been played regularly since the season 1950/51

today there were 2 friday matches at the beginning of the 9th matchday.
the promoted club gornik leczna lost at home 0-4 against lechia gdansk and jagiellonia bialystok could celebrate a sensational home victory against the leader lech poznan (1-0)

Just like Lewandowski who started play for Partyzant Leszno and made his international debut in Borussia Dortmund to become one of the best players in the world,  I'm hoping to see super talented young players like Xavier Dziekoński who plays for Jagiellonia Białystok and Mateusz Praszelik who plays for Śląsk Wrocław follow in his steps. These young players both have huge potentials to be the best.

[cygan]

on the 9th matchday there was the top match between the current champion legia and the vice-champion rakow, which the guest from czestochowa could decide with 3-2 for itself and which legia has added another defeat still in the young season. altogether on this matchday 28 goals were scored

[cygan]

yesterday, the catch-up match from the 4th matchday took place.
rakow czestochowa could not get beyond a 2-2 against radomiak radom and has lost in my opinion 2 important points to keep up with the top of the table yesterday
rakow now ranks 5th and radomiak 9th in the table

[cygan]

on the 10th matchday legia warsaw had to accept the next defeat and lost the away match at lechia gdansk with 1-3. the 3 other clubs that are on top could win all their matches very clearly. on top of the table it remains really very exciting and legia can actually already say goodbye to the title fight...
at the bottom of the table there are still no changes worth seeing

@cygan, how you can explain what's going on with Legia? In Europa League they're looking very solid, just last wek they beat Leicester and now leading group with 6 points. But in Ekstraklasa they're almost in relegation zone with maybe best squad in the league. It just doesn't makes sense. It's not that case when team giving priority to UEFA tournament and resting key players in domestic league.

because these are 2 different "leagues" and competitions, the whole thing most likely has to do with the concetration. you also see that often with other clubs that they perform badly in the league and better in the cup competition.
i can't explain the current situation any other way...

[cygan]

here is an updated list of the market values of players from the ekstraklasa.
this is headed with the polish national team player Kacper Kozlowski from pogon szczecin with a value of ~€8 million

"He has been the number one topic in Poland for months," Transfermarkt Area Manager Poland Michael Sroka said. "For his age, he is very far in his development and already a national team player, playing two good games at the Euros. The player has been linked to Bundesliga clubs Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund but also Premier League side Liverpool." This season Kozlowski has scored three goals and two assists in 12 games across all competitions.

Today a classic of the Polish league, Legia Warsaw - Lech Poznań. I am very curious about this match. Lech is in great shape and seems to be the main candidate for the championship at the moment. If Lech wins today, they will be 15 points ahead of Legia. Legia plays very mediocre in the league so far, but in the cups they show that they can really play football well. So it all depends on their mental approach to the match. I am counting on a good show today and no result will surprise me.

Lech won game 0:1. Didn't watched whole game, but it seems that Lech were a bit better and had more moments to score. At this stage I think it's not worth to talk about Legia chances to take title, but at the same time I don't beleive that they can relegate. Legia can forget about fight for title, even finish in UEFA spots looks very diffcult now.

it is very incomprehensible why legia is having such a hard time in the league this season... the players already know a 2-times load from previous seasons. so it can't really be because of that...
and lech poznan reacts like a top team at the moment and is a very big candidate for this years polish championship

I watched the game and Lech deservedly won. Lech was the better team throughout the game. The victory could have been higher, as Lech did not score a penalty at the very end of the match. As always, they played great defense. Legia fired only one shot on goal throughout the match. In the last four matches, Lech allowed his opponents a total of only four shots on goal. Amazing statistics. As for Legia, I am sure that they will join the fight for the top positions in the league. They do not really have a chance to defend the championship, but they will fight for promotion to the cups.

the 11th matchday ended yesterday with two games. the last 3 clubs are already almost eliminated and have to be careful not to lose touch with the saving 15th place.
a lot has already been said and written about legia warsaw - it may well be that the coach will not survive the winter in warsaw...
if raków wins its game of catch-up then they would actually be equal on points with lech poznan. in any case it remains exciting at the top and that even without legia
