Legia have not been broken in statutory playing time since the 23rd of February across 19 matches resulting in 13 triumphs and six draws. Last season "Wojskowi" took the gold medals of the Polish Ekstraklasa having finished the season two points above the closest chaser. The Polacks participated in one encounter in a new season: they lost to Arka Gdynia in the Polish Super Cup in penalty shoot-out after 1:1 draw in a regular time. In 2017 Legia played 10 clashes on the road recording eight wins, one draw and one defeat.
It will be the first head-to-head between the Finns and the Poles. Legia are the favourites of the pair, however, Mariehamn are obliged to give fight to the rival and if they lose, it will be with a slim margin.
Prediction for the match: Mariehamn to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
