Piast Gliwice:
Piast Gliwice plays only since 2012 continuously in the highest Polish league. In the 2007/08 season Gliwice had risen for the first time in the Ekstraklasa, but could initially hold only two years. In the last five years, the club had made it four times in Poland only in the relegation round, and in the 2017/18 season, the relegation with a single point lead can only barely avoid. In 2015/16 Piast made it to the championship round and finished runner-up.
In the preseason Gliwice had after the end of the regular season with 53 points behind by seven points on the two leaders Lechia Gdansk and Legia Warsaw had. But in the last seven rounds of the championship round there were six wins and a draw for the Red-Blue. This made the team coach Waldemar Fornalik the first league title in club history clear. In the European Cup, the club from Upper Silesia was already represented twice. In the Europa League qualification was in the 2013/14 (against Qarabag Agdam) and 2016/17 (against IFK Gothenburg) each in the second qualifying round final. This year, the Polish champion is allowed to play in the Champions League.
Because of the poor country coefficient Piast had to complete his first competitive game of the new season last Wednesday already in the first qualifying round. In the first leg of the Belarusian series champion Bate Borisov, the Poles drew with a 1-1 very honorable from the affair. In the first half, the visitors had been the clear better team and deserved to go into the break with a 1-0 lead. In the second half Borisov got stronger and equalized. But Gliwice had more chances and could not be satisfied with the draw at the end with a goal shooting ratio of 18: 7.
Before the season, the club has the important regular players from the success team can hold almost all together. Only Tomasz Jodlowiec and Aleksander Sedlar left the club. The champions were reinforced by players like Dani Aquino (Real Murcia), Jakub Holubek (MSK Zilina) and Tomas Huk (DAC Dunajska Streda). In the preseason Gliwice was able to rely above all on his home strength.
In 19 home matches, the balance was 15 wins, three draws and only one defeat. In the distance, Gliwice won only six wins and six draws and had to leave the pitch six times.

Lechia Gdansk:
Only since the season 2008/09, the club is continuously the Polish Ekstraklasa. Similar to Piast, Lechia Gdansk recently struggled against relegation. In the season 2017/18, the club had the descent can only be avoided by three counters. With the exception of this one season, Lechia has always been a regular in the championship round in recent years. However, it had never been more than a fourth place before. In the 2018/19 season Gdansk then went as championship leader in the championship round.
At the end of the season, the men from the Baltic Sea went out of breath. In the seven games of the championship round, it was enough only to two wins and a draw. Four times the White Greens had to leave the place as losers. Thus, in the end, only the third place in the league to book. At home, Gdansk laid the foundation stone for what would ultimately be a great season with twelve wins, four draws and two defeats. Away from last season’s record was seven wins, five draws and six bankruptcies.
The somewhat weak final spurt in the league was compensated with the second cup victory after 1983. On May 2, the club won the cup final against Jagiellonia Bialystok by a goal of ex-Hanoverian Artur Sobiech in the sixth minute of stoppage time. For the team of coach Stokowiec the Supercup is the first competitive game of the new season. In preparation, there were in test matches a 1-1 draw against second division MKS Chojniczanka Chojnice, a 0-3 against Hapoel Be’er Sheva, a 1-1 against Olympiacos Piraeus and a 7-1 against second division MKS Bytovia Bytow.
As a cup winner Lechia may compete this year in the Europa League. In the second qualifying round, the team meets there on 25 July either on Inter Turku or Bröndby IF. As new entrants, the club presented before the new season, players such as Zarko Udovicic, Maciej Gajos or Rafal Wolski.
