Katowice welcome Zaglebie Lubin to the city on Match Day 2 of the Polish top flight, with both teams aiming for their first victory of the new season.
The hosts began their 2025–26 campaign with a narrow 1:0 defeat to Raków Częstochowa last weekend, while Zagłębie Lubin also lost 1:0 to Widzew Łódź.
Katowice's first appearance in the Ekstraklasa will be remembered, as they avoided relegation with little or no difficulty. Under Rafał Górak's management, they finished eighth in the standings, achieving fourteen wins from 34 games. The Yellow and Blacks secured eight of those victories at the Arena Katowice - something that will be provide a huge motivation in the 2025-26 campaign.
Meanwhile, Zaglebie Lubin suffered one of the biggest drops in form last year, falling from 9th and 8th place in the previous two seasons to 15th place. They only avoided relegation by a five-point margin, and will be looking to change that this season to avoid making their fans nervous in the final stages of the campaign.

While all but one of the last five competitive games of Katowice produced three or more goals, their meetings with Zaglebie Lubin tend to be tight and I expect a similar outcome on Monday. In fact, none of the last three meetings between the two sides produced more than two goals.
