Górnik can also look back on last season with pride. The team lifted the Polish Cup and pushed for the league title right up to the final rounds, ultimately finishing second, just four points behind Lech. That strong campaign earned them a spot in the Champions League qualifiers. Statistically, Górnik were solid throughout the year, averaging 1.47 goals scored and conceding 1.12 per match.
Their preseason preparations have left a positive impression as well, three wins and just one defeat in five friendly outings. This summer saw significant changes to the squad: several key signings arrived, including Erik Prekop and Bruno Đurđov, but the club also lost some important players such as Łukasz Ambros and Viktor Novak. Notably, Górnik’s transfer income far exceeded their spending during this window.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Lech enter this clash as clear favourites, boasting a stronger squad and home advantage. However, Gornik have consistently proven a tough opponent for the Poznan side. Lech have conceded in 11 of their last 12 home head-to-heads, so the visitors are more than capable of causing problems for the hosts’ back line once again. Backing Gornik to score over 1 goal looks like a well-founded prediction. We’re expecting a 3-2 scoreline on the final whistle.
