For the Best Position Before the Decisive Phase of the Season (Preview #LODGDA and #RYBBYD)

After yesterday’s matches of the thirteenth round of METALKAS 2. Ekstraliga, it is time to complete this round. At the same time, H.SKRZYDLEWSKA ORZEŁ Łódź will face ENERGA WYBRZEŻE Gdańsk and INNPRO ROW Rybnik will face ABRAMCZYK POLONIA Bydgoszcz.

There is a very combative mood in Łódź. After yesterday’s loss of TEXOM STAL Rzeszów to #ORZECHOWAOSADA PSŻ Poznań, Maciej Jąder’s protégés are very close to achieving their goal of advancing to the play-off phase. To achieve this, they must defeat their rivals from Gdańsk, who will want to bid farewell to METALKAS 2. Ekstraliga with dignity and present well in front of their home fans. Although the residents of Łódź have lost the last two matches, including one on their own grounds, they are still the favorites of this clash.

ENERGA WYBRZEŻE has so far scored only three points this season. It is almost certain that the team of Eryk Jóźwiak and Lech Kędziora will be the relegated team from the second tier of Polish competition. Despite this situation, Gdańsk players recently found the strength to defeat TEXOM STAL and achieve their first and so far only victory this season. Will history repeat itself?

At the same time, a match will take place in Rybnik, where the local INNPRO ROW led by Brady Kurtz will try to get closer in the standings to the escaping ABRAMCZYK POLONIA Bydgoszcz. The residents of Rybnik lost narrowly last week to CELLFAST WILKI Krosno, but this should not be a cause for concern for coach Antoni Skupień’s team, as they have already proved more than once that they can come out of both bigger and smaller crises.

ABRAMCZYK POLONIA, on the other hand, is a complete team on their own track. Now they will have to compete away, where they perform somewhat worse, as the speedway riders of Tomasz Bajerski have recorded four losses away from home. A reason for optimism for Bydgoszcz is the almost certain bonus point, as they defeated INNPRO ROW in the first match 61:29, as well as the form of Krzysztof Buczkowski – the most effective speedway rider in the entire METALKAS 2. Ekstraliga.
