Title race rivals collide as leaders visit Zabrze
The Ekstraklasa’s top two sides meet in a high-stakes encounter as Gornik Zabrze look to leapfrog league leaders Lech Poznan.
Gornik Zabrze enter this fixture in 3rd place with 15 points, sitting just one point behind their opponents. Last season's runners-up and Polish Cup winners have found their rhythm quickly, recording back-to-back away wins against Raków Częstochowa (2-1) and most recently a 1-0 victory over Cracovia Krakow. With 28 games remaining, a win here would see them overtake the visitors and potentially claim the top spot.
Lech Poznan are currently top of the table on 16 points and remain in control of the title race. They arrive in Zabrze on the back of five straight victories, including a 1-0 win over Raków Częstochowa in their last outing. Having not yet tasted defeat in the 2026-27 campaign, the visitors are looking to consolidate their position at the summit.
