Return matches of the quarter-final phase will take place on Sunday. Matches in Lublin, Grudziądz, and Gorzów Wielkopolski will decide the pairs that will face each other in the semi-final round. Because the matches will be held simultaneously, they can be followed on three separate channels.
Relatively calm can be ORLEN OIL MOTOR Lublin, which won the match in Zielona Góra 54:35. In the regular season on Aleja Zygmuntowska, the team from Lublin decisively won, putting NOVYHOTEL FALUBAZ Zielona Góra in a very difficult position. Additionally, weakened by the absence of Jarosław Hampel, the team of Piotr Protasiewicz will face quite a challenge to stand up to the hosts. Therefore, it may seem that the current Polish champions are on the right path to exit the semi-finals with the best point balance.

An important task lies ahead for ZOOLESZCZ GKM Grudziądz. In the first quarter-final match, BETARD SPARTA Wrocław won 50:40. Robert Kościecha’s team is certainly counting on utilizing the advantage of their home track. The regular season showed that this is a deficit that can be made up, as the Grudziądz team won 51:39 then. It is an additional motivation for Dariusz Śledź’s team to protect the 10-point lead and directly advance to the semi-final phase. Much will depend on the form of Maciej Janowski, who was the team’s clear leader in the last match in Grudziądz.

Despite the EBUT.PL STAL‘s victory in Toruń 48:42, the hosts may feel uneasy before the return match. Weakened by the absence of Oskar Fajfer, the Gorzów team will need to rely on the good form of the remaining riders. Certainly, a lot of attention from fans will be focused on the newcomer to the PGE Ekstraliga, Adam Bednar. The misfortune of the Gorzów team could be an opportunity for KS APATOR Toruń for their first victory this season against Stanisław Chomski’s team. The state of health of Emil Sayfutdinov will have a significant impact on the course of this match, as the rider replacement tactic might be used again if he is unable to race.
