Derby clash for play-off and match for 2nd place in the table (preview #TORGRU and #GORWRO)
04.08.2024 08:50
Two more matches of the 13th round of the PGE Ekstraliga are scheduled for Sunday. A derby clash awaits in Toruń, where the local KS APATOR will face ZOOLESZCZ GKM Grudziądz. In the second match, EBUT.PL STAL Gorzów will compete with BETARD SPARTA Wrocław. Broadcasts will be available on CANAL+ Sport and the CANAL+ online service.
An extremely important match in the context of advancing to the play-offs awaits fans in Toruń. Grudziądz, almost certain to stay in the league, has a chance to break through and not finish the season in 7th place in the table this year. Toruń also has to dot the i’s and confirm their participation in the medal phase.
The patience of the coaching staff of Toruń has run out with Wiktor Lampart, who has been significantly disappointing coach Piotr Baron in recent matches. This time, the experienced coach has chosen Anders Rowe. Grudziądz will enter this match with an unchanged lineup. The team of Robert Kościecha approaches this match highly motivated, aiming to secure their first-ever play-off advancement. The first clash between the two teams in Grudziądz ended in a 47:42 victory for the hosts. The match starts at 4:30 pm.

The second clash is between EBUT.PL STAL Gorzów and BETARD SPARTA Wrocław. The former wants to secure a solid second place at the end of the regular season and face a theoretically easier opponent in the play-offs. Gorzów is a very strong team both at home and away.
Wrocław, on the other hand, is almost certain of a bonus point since they will defend a 22-point lead in Gorzów. However, it is still unknown what lineup they will have. Tai Woffinden is still recovering from an injury, and it is uncertain whether Daniel Bewley will appear at Edward Jancarz Stadium. If both Britons are absent, Francis Gusts, who had an excellent performance last week in Leszno, and the Danish talent Mikkel Andersen should get their chance. The match starts at 7:15 pm.
