This Saturday at 17:30, KGHM Zagłębie Lubin faces Górnik Zabrze in the 11th round of PKO BP Ekstraklasa. After recent struggles, Zagłębie will be looking to build on their momentum under new head coach Marcin Włodarski.
Turning Point for Zagłębie
Following a difficult start to the season, which saw four losses in five matches, KGHM Zagłębie Lubin parted ways with former coach Waldemar Fornalik. The arrival of Marcin Włodarski has brought new energy to the team, evidenced by their recent 1-0 win over Radomiak Radom and a penalty shootout victory against Podbeskidzie in the Polish Cup. The team is now eager to continue their upward trend.
Górnik’s Form and Key Players
Górnik Zabrze sits in 9th place with 12 points after 10 matches. The team’s recent performances have been inconsistent, from a solid 3-0 win over GKS Katowice to a loss against Motor Lublin. Their key players, including veteran Lukas Podolski and midfielder Erik Janža, will look to make an impact. Despite their mixed form, Górnik remains a tough opponent, especially at home.
The Stakes for Both Teams
Historically, Górnik holds a slight edge in head-to-head meetings, but Zagłębie has shown they can win in Zabrze, most recently with a 2-0 victory last season. With renewed confidence and a strong defensive showing in their last game, Zagłębie hopes to secure another three points and climb up the table. Fans can expect an intense and competitive match this weekend.
