⚽ Polish League - Ekstraklasa Prediction & Discussion Thread ⚽

[cygan]

the top three clubs are marching in step and it remains totally exciting who will be the first team to show nerves and drop a few points - the direct matches against each other will most likely be decisive.
even in the lower third of the table, it remains exciting and all clubs still have the chance to reach the 15th place.

[dwminer1]

The three leaders are playing their matches today. I see a great chance for Lech Poznań to become an independent leader. Lech should easily win with Górnik Łęczna and wait for the Pogoń - Raków match to be resolved. In this game, any result is possible, but if I had to bet I would choose a draw.

[cygan]

due to yesterday's away win (1-2) in the top match of the early 30 matchday between pogoń and raków, raków now occupies the first place and is therefore the new leader of the table.
pogoń still led 1-0 until raków turned on and Ivi Lopez scored a beautiful goal to make the 1-2
lech poznań (3-0 win vs. górnik Łęcczna) is lurking on the 2nd place in the table with the same number of points.

[dwminer1]

A very important victory for Raków, which could have eliminated Pogoń from the fight for the championship. Lech and Raków are in really good shape and I will not be surprised when they win the remaining 4 games. By the way, Raków confirmed that they are the best in clashes with direct rivals for the championship. This is what the "small table" looks like:

1. Raków Częstochowa | 8 points
2. Lech Poznań | 5 points
3. Pogoń Szczecin | 2 points

A very important victory for Raków, which could have eliminated Pogoń from the fight for the championship. Lech and Raków are in really good shape and I will not be surprised when they win the remaining 4 games.
✂

and in case of equal points (as it is now the case between raków and lech) the direct comparison counts. and there raków is ahead thanks to the away win in poznań and the draw at home

[dwminer1]

Today a very important match for Zagłębie Lublin in the context of the struggle to stay in the league. Górnik is in a very poor form recently, lost the last 3 matches, in which conceded as much as 10 goals. Zagłębie has to take advantage of the opponent's poor disposition and get 3 points, because the next 4 matches they will play against the leading teams: Lechia, Radomiak, Raków and Lech. In each of these games, it will be very hard for them to get any points.

for zagłębie lublin it looks further very badly... yesterday's game against górnik was lost yesterday with 2-4 and if wisła kraków should now win his game on monday at home against wisła plock, then zagłębie drops to a relegation place

Exactly, Zagłębie looked very poor on the pitch, you can see that the team is mentally broken. By losing yesterday, they made their situation very complicated. A few posts earlier I mentioned how difficult their schedule at the end of the season is. And today, Śląsk Wrocław can come very close to keeping in Ekstraklasa, if they beats Termalica at home, the weakest team in the league.

[dwminer1]

Today, Wisła Kraków will have a chance to leave the relegation zone. For this to happen, they must defeat Wisła Płock at their stadium, which will play without a few basic players. The results of this round fit perfectly for the team from Krakow, all teams from the bottom of the table lost their matches. The exception is Termalica, which unexpectedly defeated Śląsk Wrocław 4-0 in the away game. The players of Śląsk were financially punished by their club after this defeat.

[cygan]

thanks to his two goals in the home match against warta poznań, portuguese player Flavio Paixao (lechia gdańsk) has now joined the club of players who have scored 100 goals in the history of the ekstraklasa.
he is now one of 33 players and the first foreigner to achieve this. the last player who did it before him was Marcin Robak (with sląsk wrocław) in 2018.

[dwminer1]

Wisła Kraków did not take advantage of the situation and lost 4:3 to Wisła Płock after a dramatic match. The team from Kraków was already losing 0:2 and 3:1, and then they led to a draw, and they lost a 4:3 goal from the penalty in the 101st minute of the match. Admittedly, they are very unlucky this round. In addition to the few goals conceded in added time, they themselves hit the posts or the crossbar of their opponents more than 10 times.

[cygan]

the matchday 30 was a really tough one. a total of 34 goals were scored on the day - a new record for this season. then promoted club termalica set a new record for a win by a promoted team with a 4-0 away win and, as i mentioned yesterday, FP scored his 100th goal in the ekstraklasa.
the battle for the championship at the top and for remaining in the ekstraklasa at the bottom of the table remains very exciting.

[cygan]

yesterday the 31 matchday was completed with 2 more matches. namely the match górnik zabrze vs. radomiak radom ended goalless 0-0 and the second match between warta poznań and piast gliwice was won by the guests with 3-2.
in my opinion, since all 4 clubs have nothing left to play for this season, the results have no effect on the championship or relegation fight.

and as a little reminder: on may 2nd the final of the polish cup will take place - will be a very interesting and close game, where the daily form of the two clubs (lech and raków) will be decisive

[hahay]

The competition on the Ekstralasa standings board is very tight and in fact, they only have a goal difference because the points are the same. Rakow who in the previous season was able to finish in second place, this season it looks like Rakow has a good chance to win the league title. But before that happens, Rakow must prove his quality in the Polish Cup final because the opponent that Rakow faces in the Polish Cup is a team that is also a strong competitor in the league is Lech Poznan. Head to head at least Rakow looks more promising I think, so with Rakow's second straight season in the title race, I think Rakow deserves to take one of the titles they are fighting for right now but if Rakow can win both then of course that would be great.

Hi - I am new to the forum - can anyone tell which are top teams.
I am not aware of Polish league so wanted to know what is going on here in this league. Anyone who can guide. Or else I will go check other leagues 
Thanking in advance.

[dwminer1]

Today very important matches for the teams from the bottom of the table. Stal Mielec plays with Legia, and Zagłebie with Lechia, and here I bet on the victories of the guests. The Jagiellonia-Śląsk match promises to be interesting, because here both teams cannot sleep peacefully yet. Jagiellonia is in a better position and if they win today, they will be very close to keeping themselves in the league.

stal mielec won yesterday the home match against legia with 2-1 and is now equal on points with legia. jagiellonia and zagłebie have both played a draw and all mentioned clubs as well as sląsk wrocław are not through yet and could mathematically still be relegated

@Theones
among the top teams in the ekstraklasa are the clubs that are currently in the top three positions and actually also the current polish champion legia warszawa
legia had a lot of problems in the first half of this season where they were temporarily on a relegation place. next season legia should be able to play at the top again.

[cygan]

after matchday 31, there is still no decision and the fight for the championship and for remaining in the ekstraklasa will be delayed until the penultimate or even the last matchday.
the home win by termalica has made the bottom of the table even tighter...

[dwminer1]

In less than two hours, the final match of the Polish Cup between Lech Poznań and Raków Częstochowa will begin. The meeting promises to be very interesting, as two currently best teams in Poland will compete in it. Probably one of these teams will also win the Polish championship this year. I do not see the favorite of the match, overtime will not be a surprise for me.

[cygan]

the polish cup final is now over and raków was able to defend the cup with a 3-1 against lech poznań and thus win this trophy the 2x in a row.
before the final there was a scandal where the mayor of warszawa has forbidden the bringing of large banners and flags into the stadium. so for the entire game time all 20k lech fans who had arrived were not in the stadium and protested in front of the arena.
