Arka Gdynia vs Legia Prediction & Betting tips
On Wednesday afternoon, the final of Puchar Polski, the Polish Cup competition, will be held in Poland. In the National Stadium Narodowy of Warsaw, reigning champions Legia Warszawa meet defending champion Arka Gdynia. Polish record-winning Cup winner Legia Warszawa can compete for the finals near his own home ground, the Wojska Polskiego stadium. The team from the Baltic port Gdynia was able to win the trophy for the second time in the last season and would now like to add the third victory in history. Even then one was against Lech Posen the outsider.
The direct comparison speaks for Warsaw. There were 18 duels between the two teams. Arka could only win three games, drew three draws. In the league every team could win their home game this season. In addition, Gdynia secured on penalties the Supercup. Of the last six duels Gdynia lost only two. Before that, however, there was a series of nine straight wins in a direct comparison for Legia.
Arka Gdynia:
With ninth, Arka Gdynia missed the championship round one seat this season and now plays in the relegation round, rather than in the championship round. Also in the last season it was enough for the men from the Baltic Sea in the end only for 13th place in the Ekstraklasa. In this year’s regular season Gdynia had scored 40 points in 30 games. The balance was very balanced with ten wins, ten draws and ten defeats. In the regular season Arka also had the third best defense of the league with 32 goals. Arka is currently in second place in the relegation round. The score is unchanged at the end of regular time. The last four league games were all lost. At the weekend, at home there was a bitter 1: 5 defeat against Piast Gliwice. Last season, Arka Gdynia won the Cup final against Lech Poznan 2-1 after extra time. It was the second cup success for the team in their history after 1979.
In this year’s competition, the team had quite hard to reach the final: In the sixteenth final was only after a 4-2 after extra time against Slask Wroclaw on. Also in the second division Podbeskidzie in the second round of the defending champion came in extra time (2: 1). From the quarter-finals of the cup competition will be played with a return match. Here, Gdynia had to accept a draw and a defeat this season.
Legia:
The team of coach Dean Klafurić has finished the regular season in third place. In 30 games there were 17 victories, but also ten defeats. In the championship round, the defending champion has now taken the league lead. The lead over the first pursuer Lech Posen is currently two points. In the regular season, Warsaw conceded 31 goals and thus set the second best defense of the league. In the last six competitive matches the Klafurić-Eleven had to accept only one defeat. The last three competitive games were all won. In the cup, the reigning champion is still undefeated. Only in the semi-final away at Gornik Zabrze there was a draw.
For the past seven years, the trophy has gone to Warsaw five times. With 18 titles, Legia is also the record trophy winner in Poland. Croatian coach Dean Klafurić took over the team on 15 April 2018. He had been the co-trainer of Romeo Jozaka for eight months and then replaced it. His first three competitive games as a coach, he could win all. The contract is valid until the end of the season and the Croatian should make the double with the “Wojskowych”. If he really succeeds in this goal, a new contract for the next season should be waving.
