Poland - Lech vs Gornik Zabrze
Game to be played @ 18:15 CET
Occupying tenth place in the league table Lech Poznan can not afford to stumble again. They would want to gain the right to play in Europa the next season, but that means they would need to win this game against Gornik Zabrze.
On Tuesday Lech lost the chance to qualify for Europa League losing in a penalty shootout the CUp final with Legia Warsaw. Thus, the team are in a difficult position. To have at least hopes of Europa League they need to win this game. Under the leadership of Jose Mari Bakero Lech won just one point from the last two games. Today, they will have home advantage where they suffered only one defeat the whole season, but there is an uncertainty that fans will be allowed at the stadium because of a ban given by authorities that however can be lifted by tomorrow.
Lech will face Gornik, who has two points more and are also fighting for a place in Europa League. In the last round Adam Nawalki's team caused the biggest surprise and won three points in an away match against Wisla Krakow. Zabrze now intend to continue the good form and win at least a point at Poznan.
Both teams have problems. The host will do without midfielders T. Bandrowski (4/0) and M. Kikut (20/0).
A longer list of absentees in the team of Gornik. Defender Artur Marciniak(16/0), forward Michael(4/1) are out because of suspension. Midfielder M. Bebenek (19/2) is out injured while 1st choice GK Adam Stachowiak will miss the game because he has his own wedding.
