Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
After eliminating Kauno Zalgiris in round 2, Lech Poznan will look to give fans one more reason to celebrate when they take on Trnava at Enea Stadium. Lech Poznan are determined to book their place in the Conference League group stages and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Trnava. The good news for the hosts is that talented midfielder Filip Marchwinski has overcome his injury.
The White Angels, on the other hand, recorded a routine 4-1 win over Auda to set up a meeting with Lech Poznan, but seeing that the Poles are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors will return to Slovakia empty-handed. Austria international Marco Djuricin is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Zlate Moravce-Vrable in the national championship.
Highlighted Team (Lech Poznan):
Founded on March 19, 1922, Lech Poznan are a Polish club that compete in Ekstraklasa. The Kolejorz (the Railwayman) made their debut in the Polish elite division in 1948, with the team recording a 4-3 win over Widzew Lodz.
Lech play home matches in blue jerseys and white shorts, while white is the dominant colour of their away kit. Stadion Miejski is the club’s home ground. Opened on August 23, 1980, the venue can hold up to 43,269 spectators. Lech Poznan won their first domestic championship in the 1982/83 season, with the team defending the trophy the following season. In the 2014/15 Lech clinched their last (seventh) league title.
The Kolejorz made their debut in the Champions League (former European Cup) in the 1983/84 season, with the team suffering elimination to Athletic Bilbao (2-4 on agg). Legia Warsaw are regarded as the club’s biggest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Poland.
