Lech Poznan – Sunderland

Match analysis

Lech Poznań will host Sunderland in what promises to be a pivotal clash for the English side, who sit 14th in the table with just four points after one win, one draw and two defeats, having scored three and conceded five. The Poles, playing on familiar ground, will be looking to capitalize on Sunderland’s recent defensive frailties and the visitors’ modest goal return. Sunderland will need to tighten up at the back if they hope to turn their modest tally of three goals into a result that lifts them out of the lower reaches of the league. A win for Lech would not only boost their own standing but also deepen Sunderland’s relegation worries as the season progresses.
