Pogon Szczecin vs Slask Wroclaw Predictions

Thursday’s Polish Ekstraklasa action sees Pogon Szczecin doing battle with a Slask Wroclaw outfit in crisis. The hosts are expected to pick up the points with very few issues in front of the home crowd.

Whilst Pogon didn’t make the best of starts to the campaign, it’s fair to say they’re one of the division’s form teams now, having won 8 of their last 11 league matches. With the likes of Sebastian Kowalczyk and Adam Buksa impressing, The Dockers are not only picking up results at the moment, but are doing so in a manner that makes them one of the more entertaining teams to watch in the country.

Coming into Thursday’s game, confidence is at peak levels in Pogon ranks and the side will be looking to solidify their current standing in the top 8. 28 points from 19 matches ranks as good going for Kosta Runjaic’s troops and they’ll be desperate to build on that here and having recorded 6 straight wins in front of the home crowd, you’d certainly fancy them to do so.

Meanwhile, Slask Wroclaw are having a terrible season and you’d now have to say that they’re in a fight just to remain in the division. The visitors currently lie third bottom with a measly 18 point total from 19 games and it’s hard to envisage them moving up the table any time soon given their current state.

Indeed, Slask haven’t won in 7 attempts, losing 4 times in the process and with 3 of said defeats having came in the last 4 games, confidence really is at rock bottom in their ranks. On pitch struggles have forced changes in the boardroom and without a permanent manager in place, the club remain in turmoil coming into this trip.

Ultimately, there only looks to be one possible winner and that’s Pogon. They’ve played extremely well over the last couple of months, particularly on home soil and with Slask in such a dire state, the hosts really should have too much for them.

As such, we’re more than happy to back a home win with maximum confidence and feel it provides good value at current prices. Not only have Pogon won 6 matches in a row as hosts, they’ve also scored an average of 2.33 goals a game over said fixtures and as a result, we think they’ll run out comfortable 2-0 winners on Thursday.
