Lechia Gdansk host Stal Mielec this Saturday, September 19, in their next I Liga fixture. The match at Polsat Plus Arena kicks off at 12:30 and presents an opportunity for the hosts to extend a positive run of form.
Manager Dariusz Formella's side goes into the clash sitting 11th in the table with 10 points from eight games. Their recent form has been the foundation for this position, with four wins secured in their last five outings, the only defeat coming away to Nieciecza.
The most recent performance was a success, a 2-1 home victory over Miedz Legnica. Goals from T. Neugebauer from the penalty spot and K. Dodaj, assisted by A. Shakh, sealed the three points. That win helped bounce back from the previous loss to Nieciecza, where Shakh scored a late consolation goal.
Their opponents, Stal Mielec, currently occupy 14th place and have struggled for results lately. For Lechia, it's a chance to collect another three points and close the five-point gap to the league leaders.
Ahead of Saturday's game, manager Formella has an almost full squad at his disposal, which last lined up against Miedz as: Holewinski, Kopasek, Lopata, Beskorovaynyi, Malov, Mena, Ivanov, Wojtowicz, Dodaj, Glogowski and Shakh. The encounter with the team from Mielec is a key moment to maintain the positive results trend ahead of the next phase of the season.
