Lech Poznań host Sunderland in the Europa League after just thrashing their opponents in the league 6-1, while Sunderland have just lost at home 0-2 in the Premier League, so this game is a meeting of a team full of confidence and a team looking for a way back. Lech Poznań in their own league have won 8 of 10 games, scoring 27 and conceding 9, numbers that say the attack is working at full tilt, but in their latest European match they lost 0-4, which shows that when they meet a stronger opponent they still cannot find their footing in time. Sunderland themselves clearly have defensive problems, conceding 14 goals in 7 league games, even though they have won 2 of their last 3 European matches. This game will likely see Lech Poznań trying to open up from their own half with the confidence from their domestic league, while Sunderland will likely wait for counter-attacking moments and use their physical advantage in the final moments. If Sunderland's defence is still leaky as in the league, Lech Poznań will get plenty of chances, but if they can defend and play longer balls, the game will turn into a trade of blows in which Sunderland have higher individual quality and can edge it.
