Zaglebie Lubin’s defensive strength has earned them victories in their first two games of this season, in addition to their last three matches against Nieciecza.
The hosts have struggled for goals this season, and that will only play into the visitors’ hands, with a third win and third clean sheet of the season very much on the cards.
New signing Bartosz Spiaczka has yet to get off the mark for Nieciecza and he will find it tough to break his duck against Zaglebie on Friday.
There is a long way to go in this season, but on current form at least it is hard to see beyond a Zaglebie win.
Zaglebie Lubin are favourites for Friday’s game, but as the away team you can get pretty generous odds on them winning – Bet365 and William Hill are both offering 8/5 on an away win.
Given their defensive record – coupled with Nieciecza’s poor away form – you would have to back them to win to nil too and that improves those odds to 10/3 with Bet365.
Nevertheless, they have only scored one goal in each of their two games this season – the same amount Nieciecza have conceded – and a 1-0 away win on Friday returns 7/1 with William Hill.
Betting against both teams to score will return 10/11 with Bet365 and William Hill, meanwhile.
Zaglebie have kept clean sheets in both of their opening two fixtures this season, and with Nieciecza struggling for goals you would back them to make it three in a row.
As they search for a way of ending their poor run of form in front of goal, Vladislavs Gutkovskis – last season’s top scorer – came into the Nieciecza starting line-up last weekend. Samuel Stefanik will be among the players hoping for a recall to the starting XI for Friday’s game.
New signing Bartosz Spiaczka scored 11 league goals for Gornik Leczna last season, and Nieciecza need him to find that goalscoring form again this year as they look to end their recent goal-shy record.
Nieciecza have lost both of their two games this season 1-0, losing at home to Jagiellonia Bialystok and away to Wisla Krakow.

Sebastian Kadera, Sebastian Bonecki and Adrian Blad have started the new season injured. After stepping off the bench to score the winner against Slask Wroclaw, Jakub Swierczok will hope to regain his starting place up front. Jakub Tosik will be suspended, however, after his sending off in that game.
Filip Starzynski scored seven and set up nine goals last season, and got the only goal of the game on the opening day too. Jakub Swierczok scored the last-minute winner in their 1-0 win against Slask Wroclaw to open his account for the season.
Zaglebie won 1-0 at Korona Kielce on the opening day of the season, and followed that up with a 1-0 home win, with ten men, against Slask Wroclaw last time out.
