Defensive Solidity

Lechia Gdansk deploy 4 defenders rated 6.71 on average, against Pogon Szczecin's 4-man backline averaging 6.74. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Lechia Gdansk field 5 midfielders averaging 6.95, versus Pogon Szczecin's 5 rated 6.76. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Lechia Gdansk start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.82, compared to 1 for Pogon Szczecin averaging 6.69. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 76% for Lechia Gdansk and 78% for Pogon Szczecin. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Lechia Gdansk's starters have collected 44 yellow cards this season, compared to 25 for Pogon Szczecin. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Squad Depth

Lechia Gdansk's starters average 24 league appearances each, versus 18 for Pogon Szczecin. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
