ℹ️ Team News: Cracovia

There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Cracovia gaffer Jacek Zieliński to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. David Jablonsky (Torn Ligament) misses out.

It looks as if Pasy may well use a 3-4-3 system for this game and select Sebastian Madejski, Andreas Skovgaard, Kamil Glik, Virgil Ghita, Cornel Emilian Rapa, Takuto Oshima, Mateusz Bochnak, Pawel Jaroszynski, Jani Atanasov, Benjamin Kaellman and Michal Rakoczy.

📋 Team News: Pogon Szczecin

Pogon Szczecin manager Jens Gustafsson has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Olaf Korczakowski (Muscle Injury), Wojciech Lisowski (Ruptured sideband) and Marcel Wedrychowski (Unknown Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We believe Pogon Szczecin might make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Valentin Cojocaru, L. Wahlqvist Egnell, Benedikt Zech, Mariusz Malec, Leonardo Koutris, Fredrik Ulvestad, Rafal Kurzawa, Vahan Bichakhchyan, Alexander Gorgon, Kamil Grosicki and Efthimios Koulouris.
