On Friday, 15 August, we will face Zagłębie Lubin in an away match. At 6 p.m., the battle for the first three points of the 2025/26 season will begin on the pitch of the Lubin stadium. We are facing a difficult match, but the goal is simple – to return to Gdańsk with points.
We are approaching the match against Zagłębie after a thrilling encounter with Motor Lublin. The match at Polsat Plus Arena ended in a 3:3 draw, and the fans certainly had no reason to complain about a lack of excitement. Although we did not manage to take all three points, the team showed character and offensive potential, which may pay off in Friday’s match.
We want to develop the team. We need to make fewer individual mistakes and improve in this regard. Zagłębie has a mixed line-up. They have some experienced players who also help the younger ones. Obviously, they are playing at home, so there will be some pressure on them. We want to surprise them – said coach John Carver at his pre-match press conference.
I’m counting on three points, I know this stadium well and I hope we can play another good match. – said Szymon Weirauch at a press briefing.
