Command Analysis

Warta Poznan

Current form
Last season, Warta was relegated from the Polish Premier League. The hosts had quite good chances of survival, but the team completely failed at the end of the championship, losing three matches in a row. As a result, the team took 16th place, just one point behind the safe zone. The crisis was not completely overcome in the new season either. In the First Division, the team is only in 14th place and is only two points ahead of the relegation zone. In the last round, the club from Poznan lost to Ruch from Chorzów with a score of 1:2. In the previous round of the cup, they managed to beat another club from the First Division, Wisla from Płock (1:0).

Estimated lineup : Grobelny - Bartkowski, Plesnirovich, Markov - Michalski, Tkachuk, Kilb, Shcheliga - Valus, Firley - Adamski

Zaglebie Lubin

Current form
Zagłębie did not fight for survival last season. The team took a comfortable eighth place in the middle of the table and hopes to at least repeat this result in the current championship. However, for now the team is only 12th in the table and is only five points ahead of the relegation zone. After minimal victories over Radomiak Radom (1:0) and Górnik from Zabrze (1:0), the team lost to Jagiellonia (1:3) and drew with Stal from Mielec (2:2). In the previous round of the cup, it was only in a penalty shootout that they managed to overcome the resistance of Podbeskidzie.

7.50Tip and bets
Bookmakers consider the guests as the favorites of the match, but we think that the hosts have no less chances to advance to the next round. Already in the match with the modest "Podbeskidzie" the Lubino club had problems and it came down to a penalty shootout. "Varta" played in the elite division last season and are clearly of a higher class than the previous opponent of the guests. It is unlikely that the cup is the main priority for "Zagłębie", so the hosts can well fight for the victory.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (+1) on Varta for 1.67
