On Thursday the 30 of September
Lech Poznan hosts
FC Salzburg on the
second match day of the
UEFA Europe League in
group A. The team from Poland made a 3:3 drawn on the first match day at Turin and Salzburg lost their first game at home against Manchester City with 0:2. The game takes place at the Miejski Stadium at Poznan and starts at 9:05pm.
The challenge against Manchester City was too hard for Salzburg. The Austrian champion from last year was without any chance against the top club from England. Last year Salzburg was able to win each of their six games during the group stage of the Europe League, this sensation will not happen again. In the Austrian Bundesliga Salzburg made their first victory after 7 games. Right now the team from Coach Huub Stevens is on the 7th position in the Austrian Schedule. Like Salzburg, Lech Poznan got also some problems in their national league. After six games they are just on the 10th position. But in their first game during the group stage against Juventus Turin they showed a very good performance.

Booked: -
Salzburg striker Boghossian was changed for Wallner because he missed many chances, and Wallner made the deciding goal against Ried although the goal was not regular because he was offside. The team from Poland got also problems to score, especially in the Europe League. The team from Coach Jacek Zielinski wasn't able to score at home in this season. Lech Poznan is not an unknown team in Austria because Austria Vienna played against the team from Poland during the qualification for the Europe League in the season of 2008/09. At that time Lech Poznan reached the group stage after an 4:2 victory at home, the first game in Vienna was lost with 1:2.
These teams never played against each other.
It will be a very hard challenge for Salzburg but the team from Poland is not unbeatable. My tip for this game is a
drawn.
