<html> <head> <title>Pogoń Szczecin vs Lechia Gdańsk – Data-Led Betting Preview</title> </head> <body> <h2>Form, Context and Stakes</h2> <p>Pogoń Szczecin return to the Tarczyński Arena aiming to consolidate a promising home profile against a Lechia Gdańsk side whose away numbers are among the league’s poorest. The table positions (Pogoń 9th–10th range vs Lechia 14th–18th) reflect contrasting venue trends: Pogoń have banked 2.00 points per home game, while Lechia take only 0.25 away.</p> <h3>Team News and Availability</h3> <p>Pogoń are without left-back Léo Borges, a minor blow to their back line depth. Lechia’s absences cut deeper: creative midfielder Anton Tsarenko, goalkeeper Bohdan Sarnavskyi, and defender Bujar Pllana are sidelined, thinning options across the spine. With young keeper Szymon Weirauch having conceded 15 in five league matches, Lechia’s defensive stability remains a clear concern.</p> <h3>Tactical Outlook</h3> <p>Expect Pogoń to set up in a front-foot 4-3-3, using Kamil Grosicki’s service and Efthymios Koulouris’ penalty-box craft to target Lechia’s fullback channels. Grosicki (2 goals, 4 assists) and Koulouris (3 in 4) headline the hosts’ edge in final-third execution. Lechia likely stick to a 4-2-3-1 with emphasis on compactness and counters, looking for Tomáš Bobček (5 goals) to provide a direct outlet, supported by the lively Camilo Mena.</p> <h3>Key Numbers That Shape the Match</h3> <ul> <li>Pogoń home: 2.00 GF, 1.33 GA; 2.00 PPG.</li> <li>Lechia away: 1.25 GF, 3.00 GA; 0.25 PPG.</li> <li>Lead dynamics: Pogoń home leadDefendingRate 100%; Lechia away 0%.</li> <li>Half-time pattern: Lechia away losing at HT in 75% of games.</li> <li>Totals: Pogoń home over 2.5 hits 67%; Lechia away over 2.5 hits 75%.</li> <li>Goal timing: Both sides skew to second-half action; Lechia concede heavily from 61’ onwards.</li> </ul> <h3>Where the Value Lies</h3> <p>The market offers Pogoń at 1.81 to win, but the stronger angle is Pogoń & Over 1.5 at 2.10. The overlay reflects how frequently Lechia concede multiple away, and how Pogoń’s home attack trends around 2.00 goals. Over 2.5 at 1.57 carries solid support given both teams’ game totals far exceed the league average.</p> <p>Second-half angles have merit: with Pogoń scoring 64% after the break and Lechia shipping 58% post-HT, Highest Scoring Half – 2nd Half at 1.85 aligns with the data. Corners over 10.5 at 1.83 is another standout: Pogoń’s home matches average 14.67 total corners, and they’ve landed 10.5+ in all three home fixtures.</p> <h3>Player Battles to Watch</h3> <p>On the flanks, Grosicki vs Jaunzems/Vojtko should decide how much service reaches Koulouris. For Lechia, Bobček’s movement between Pogoń’s center-backs Lončar and Huja will be vital; any isolation moments could yield chances, especially in transition. Mena’s ball-carrying is a threat, but Lechia’s inability to maintain away game states (0% lead-defending rate) undermines their upside.</p> <h3>Projected Flow</h3> <p>Pogoń should control territory and chances, with Lechia forced into longer spells without the ball. Given Lechia’s trend of early concessions away (average first conceded at 23’), an early Pogoń breakthrough is plausible. Even if the opening is cagey, second-half goals remain the strongest theme, with Pogoń capable of stretching the margin late as Lechia’s structure fatigues.</p> <h3>Best Bets Summary</h3> <ul> <li>Pogoń & Over 1.5 @ 2.10 – strongest alignment of venue form and defensive splits.</li> <li>Over 2.5 @ 1.57 – high-scoring profiles for both teams.</li> <li>Highest Scoring Half: 2nd @ 1.85 – consistent timing patterns.</li> <li>Over 10.5 Corners @ 1.83 – Pogoń’s home corner volume is elite.</li> <li>Value: Pogoń 1st Half @ 2.25 – Lechia’s 75% away HT deficits.</li> </ul> <h3>Verdict</h3> <p>With stronger home metrics, better late-game control, and Lechia’s undermanned defensive unit, Pogoń are well placed to win a match with multiple goals. Expect the decisive action after half-time, and a busy corner count driven by the hosts’ wing play.</p> </body> </html>
