Lechia Gdansk is preparing for a tricky Polish Cup away match against MKS Kluczbork, with coach Tomasz Wojtowicz confirming changes to the starting lineup. According to "Dziennik Bałtycki", Wojtowicz stressed that his team must be wary of a trap in this Wednesday's fixture and cannot underestimate the opponent from the third division.
What changes will Lechia make?
Tomasz Wojtowicz confirmed that rotation in the starting eleven is certain. This is standard procedure in the early stages of the domestic cup, where clubs often test their squad depth. The Lechia coach has a broad squad at his disposal, allowing for such maneuvers without a drastic drop in quality. The team's current roster can be reviewed on our squad page. Selection decisions are driven not only by the desire to rest key players but also by the need to assess the form of the entire team ahead of important league clashes.
Why is the Kluczbork match dangerous?
MKS Kluczbork plays three league levels below Lechia, which theoretically makes the Gdańsk side a clear favorite. However, it is precisely these types of confrontations that can be treacherous. The lower-league team has nothing to lose, plays with huge motivation at home, and all the pressure rests on the visitors' shoulders. Wojtowicz highlighted these aspects, warning his players against overconfidence. Historical cup upsets confirm that such matches are never a formality.
