Wieczysta Krakow - Lech Poznan: Match preview
Wieczysta have made rapid progress over the past few years, as recently as the 2020/21 season the team were playing in the sixth tier. In the following seasons, they moved through the third and second tiers, gaining promotion at the first attempt in both cases.
Last season, they finished third in the table and entered the playoff for promotion to the top flight. Wieczysta defeated Polonia Warsaw 5-3 on aggregate. They have already made their debut in the top division, facing Radomiak away from home. Unfortunately, their first taste of top-flight football ended in defeat, with the Krakow side losing 1-2.
Lech Poznan have dominated the domestic scene over the past two seasons, winning the league titles in the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons. The team began the new competitive season with the Polish Super Cup and won it by beating their opponents 3-1. They then began their Champions League qualifying campaign with a tie against AGF Aarhus.
It seemed that the tie had been settled after a convincing 4-1 win in the first leg in Denmark. However, they lost 1-4 at home in normal time and then went on to lose the penalty shootout. It was a complete collapse from the Poznan side, as they threw away a three-goal advantage. As for the domestic league, Lech opened their campaign against Cracovia and played out a 0-0 draw.
