This Saturday we will play an away match against Stal Mielec as part of the 11th round of the PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa in season 2024/25. The meeting will start at 12:15.
The away match against Stal Mielec is a chance to take a step towards improving their position in the PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa table. The White-Greens are determined to prove that they can fight for a full pot on any ground.
– We are in a very good mood ahead of the match against Stal Mielec. We are hungry for victory and hungry to achieve just that success on the rival’s pitch. A group will go to Mielec, who will know the qualities of their opponent and will certainly have great respect for Stal, but we will do everything to return to Gdansk with three points – said coach Szymon Grabowski at a pre-match press conference.
– Everyone knows that we are a young team and of course we have to adapt to the Ekstraklasa. The first matches weren’t very good for us, but with every match we are getting more courage, more good moments in attack and defence. Sometimes we lack luck, but that comes with training and good results in matches. This match will be important for us because three points is our main goal. This is our first task and then we will talk about other things, such as not letting goals go and scoring more goals, but right now the most important thing is the three points – said Bohdan Viunnyk at a press briefing.
