This coming Sunday, we will play an away match against Górnik Zabrze as part of the 7th round of the PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa in season 2024/25. The meeting will start at 12:15.
The match against Górnik gives us another opportunity to get our first three points of the season and clinch the coveted victory.
– I hope that after the match against Górnik we will see the kind of defensive performance we would like to see – brave in aerial duels and one-on-one duels, and this will translate into a clean sheet. Górnik are a team that have started these games really well. The last game they certainly didn’t score, but they’ve looked good from the start and you can see experienced players who know how to behave on top-class pitches. Nevertheless, we are already after a team analysis as far as the opponent is concerned and we are working on those things that we would like to use in Zabrze. I hope that the plan we have outlined to the players will have the desired effect – said coach Szymon Grabowski at a pre-match press conference.
The situation is tough, but we can play and we will show on the pitch that we can play for higher goals in the table. We did better against Rakov, we gave all our strength, we fought until the end. We were let down by the last 10 minutes, although we tried our best. We need one win in the end and it will be better – Anton Tsarenko said at a press briefing.
