Odra Opole - Polonia Warszawa

This game between Odra Opole and Polonia Warszawa will be one of the most interesting in this round, but I really doubt that fans will see many goals as especially hosts love defense football. Odra is quite average team, being tenth with twenty five points and their main card is solid defense; in offense they are rather poor even at home. Statistics are clear here, they have only 0.9 goals per game, also conceded 1.1 goals per game, which is really, really low number. Most their games in this season went under 2.5 goals line, so there should be similar as coach Rob Delahije will try to draw this one. In first round after winter break they drew against Górnik Jastrzębie (1-1) after slow game and I must say that match was boring. They are better now than in previous round as they bought few good players like Pape Samba Ba, Filipe, Marcin Józefowicz, Marcin Pontus and Andrew Konopelsky so they should stop guests offense here; I don’t expect more than one goal for Opole here. On the other hand Polonia is one of main candidates to advance as they are fourth with thirty five points and they have really good rooster. Despite of this fact I don’t see them winning this one with ease as away from home they aren’t as strong as at home, so I can’t see them scoring more than one goal. In previous game they won with ŁKS Łomża (3-1) but rivals are just disastrous and there were not defense; this should be opposite match, with great defense, slow tempo and only few actions in whole ninety minutes. They bought few Ekstraklasa’s level players like Krzysztof Kazimierczak, Grzegorz Piechna and Mariusz Liberda, but they are not a good team so far with great offense, they rather struggle with good defenses. In first meeting between those two this season Polonia won (2-0) at home and today it should be also one or two goals. Under 2.5 is a best choice in whole second league I think and I will back this one with six units.
