Pogoń Szczecin is set to face Górnik Zabrze on February 8, 2024, at 20:30, as part of the Ekstraklasa's exciting matchday. The anticipation is buzzing around this encounter, particularly as Pogoń has been on quite the roll lately.
Having secured three consecutive victories, Pogoń Szczecin is filled with confidence. Recent matches have showcased standout performances, particularly from Kamil Grosicki, who has been instrumental with both goals and assists. Fans are eager to see if he can carry this momentum forward against Górnik, which sits at the lower end of the table.
The improvements and adjustments made by Pogoń’s coach have clearly paid off.
