Lechia Zielona Góra vs Ruch Chorzów prediction

Lechia Zielona Góra host Ruch Chorzów in the Polish Cup Round of 64, looking to translate their strong home form into a cup upset. The hosts have demonstrated considerable attacking output in recent weeks, scoring thirteen goals across their last five matches, including a 6-1 victory over Sokół Kleczew and a 3-1 away win against Avia Świdnik. However, Lechia have struggled for defensive solidity, having conceded at least one goal in each of those five outings.

Ruch Chorzów arrive looking to bounce back from a 2-0 away defeat against Chrobry Głogów. The visitors have generally operated in tightly contested affairs, with their previous four matches prior to that loss featuring three clean sheets and low overall scoring tallies, including 1-0 victories over Lechia Gdańsk and Stal Rzeszów alongside a 1-1 draw with Polonia Warszawa.

Historical head-to-head encounters between the two clubs favour Ruch Chorzów, who won both previous meetings by margins of 2-0 and 4-0 without conceding. With Ruch Chorzów possessing proven pedigree against Lechia and the hosts carrying an active scoring streak into this single-leg cup tie, a closely fought battle is expected.
