Lech Poznan v Ruch Chorzow live tips - Lech's home form should swing it

Lech Poznan and Ruch Chorzow, who both finished in the top four of the Ekstraklasa last season, begin their 2012-13 campaigns with a tasty head-to-head clash.

Watch and bet on Lech Poznan v Ruch Chorzow at Bet365 > live streaming > football from 17:00 BST on Saturday, August 18

In a desperately close end to the 2011-12 campaign, runners-up Ruch Chorzow only missed out on the Polish league title by one point to Slask Wroclaw, with Lech Poznan a further three points back in fourth place.

And the encouraging aspect for those thinking of backing Lech Poznan at 11/10 with Bet365 to win this game is that they owed their high finishing position purely to their outstanding home form.

While their results on the road were distinctly average, Mariusz Rumak’s side excelled on their own pitch as they won 11 out of 15 matches – more than any other team.

It was enough to get them into the 2012-13 Europa League and having started their campaign way back on July 5, they knocked out Kazakhstan club Zhetsyu and Azerbaijan side Khazar before coming unstuck against Swedish team AIK Solna.

Yet again the home form stood up as Lech Poznan won the home leg in all three ties.

Young midfielder Mateusz Mozdzen was arguably the best player during the European run and it is surely only a matter of time before he graduates from the Poland Under-21 side to the senior international ranks.

Ruch Chorzow entered the Europa League a couple of weeks later than their opponents but also bowed out in the third qualifying round.

They enjoyed an easy 6-1 aggregate victory over Metalurg Skopje of Macedonia but then found Viktoria Plzen too hot to handle, going out 6-0 to the Czech team that mixed it with Barcelona and AC Milan in the group stage of last season’s Champions League.

Ruch’s most dangerous player is arguably striker Arkadiusz Piech, who has scored six goals in his last eight games and will be a real threat to the Lech Poznan defence.

Last season’s two meetings between these sides resulted in a 3-0 home win apiece, but it is doubtful that the margin of victory will be so comprehensive this time.

Lech Poznan are definitely on the short side at 11/10 with Bet365, who make Ruch Chorzow 13/5 and it’s 11/5 for a draw.

But their home form should be strong enough to ensure Lech start the season with three points.
