This is not a successful spring for Śląsk and Legia. In the last 5 matches, the Wrocław team won once, and in 9 matches they scored only 9 out of 27 points. Legia lost only one league match in the spring, but drew as many as 5 matches. In addition, it decisively lost to Norwegian Molde in the two-legged European Conference League match (2:6). These results even resulted in a change of coach – Kosta Runjaic was replaced by Goncalo Feio, who in his debut a week ago drew with Raków 1-1 in Częstochowa.
Legia Warszawa – Śląsk Wrocław match
Despite average results, the fact that direct rivals also lose a lot of points means that both teams still have a chance to win the Polish championship. Legia is four points behind Śląsk and for them the match against Magiera’s players is the last chance to be in the fight for the title. However, if WKS wants to think about overtaking the leader Jagiellonia, it must start scoring better. However, the task in Warsaw will be difficult for at least two reasons – Śląsk is weakened by the absence of Nahuel Leiva, who is on a side card. Additionally, Śląsk “on Legia” last won in 2011, i.e…. in the championship season.
I take this scenario blindly. If we weren’t going to win but become the champion, I would take it blindly. This season is very similar to that championship season, looking at the statistics. We are fighting, we are going to score points. There will be a full audience. The players have to come out with a smile on their face for this match. The match will be shown on two TV stations.
