Korona were involved in relegation battle last season and the team managed to keep their place in Ekstraklasa. Today’s visitors played three sparrings this pre-season, winning against Siarka, 3-1, drawing with Espana and losing to AEK Athens, 0-2. The season in Poland started with thrashing defeat in away clash with Zaglebie, 0-4. The team has quite poor away record with one win, four draws and three defeats in their eight matches on the road played in 2016.
Pogon are unbeaten in head-to-heads with Korona since October 2012, taking four wins and three draws. Both of the teams lost their opening matches in the league. However, the record of matches between opponents and the level of football shown in the first round suggest to pick the hosts of the match.
Prediction for the match: Pogon Szczecin to win.
