The derby of the Lubusz Land guarantees a lot of emotions. The last competition between NOVYHOTEL FALUBAZ Zielona Góra and EBUT.PL STAL Gorzów Wlkp. was very intense and ended with a victory for Gorzów 49:41.
EBUT.PL STAL Gorzów Wlkp. currently ranks third in the PGE Ekstraliga table. The team, led by coach Stanisław Chomski, is in great form, evidenced by their recent away win against KRONO-PLAST WŁÓKNIARZ Częstochowa. The home track, where the yellow-blue team performs excellently, will be their advantage in the derby match.

A crucial match regarding staying in the PGE Ekstraliga will take place at the A. Smoczyk stadium in Leszno. FOGO UNIA, despite being last in the table, still doesn’t intend to give up. Leszno fans are counting on a good performance from Janusz Kołodziej, for whom this will be the first home match since returning from injury. The home team’s lineup for Sunday will be missing Bartosz Smektała and Damian Ratajczak, who suffered a knee injury.
The team of ZOOLESZCZ GKM Grudziądz approaches the match in Leszno after a victory on their home track against BETARD SPARTA Wrocław. Coach Robert Kościecha announces that his team will strive for the best possible result in Leszno. Jaimon Lidsey, who rode for FOGO UNIA just last season and knows the local track very well, might help in this. A bonus point seems within reach for Grudziądz, who beat the team led by Rafał Okoniewski 54:35 at their home stadium.
