Lech Poznan – Sunderland

Lech Poznań host Sunderland at Stadion Miejski in what promises to be a crucial test for the Polish side, who will be looking to capitalize on home advantage against a struggling Sunderland outfit. The English club sit 20th in the league with just four points from six games – a solitary win and a draw offset by five defeats, and a worrying -8 goal difference (six scored, fourteen conceded). Sunderland will need to tighten up at the back if they are to avoid a further slide, while Lech Poznań can aim to build on any momentum they have gathered, though their recent form remains unknown. The clash offers both teams a chance to shift the narrative in their respective campaigns.
