Friday’s part of the last round of the regular season of the PGE Ekstraliga will start in Wrocław, where ORLEN OIL MOTOR Lublin will visit. The competition then moves to Grudziądz, where the local ZOOLESZCZ GKM will face KRONO-PLAST WŁÓKNIARZ Częstochowa. Both matches will be broadcast on ELEVEN SPORTS 1.

Since the beginning of the season, the Olympic Stadium has remained unconquered. The opportunity to break BETARD SPARTA’s strong home record will be the clash with ORLEN OIL MOTOR Lublin. The team led by Dariusz Śledź would alleviate the bitterness of their recent defeat by EBUT.PL STAL Gorzów (55:35) with a potential victory over the current Polish champions.

ORLEN OIL MOTOR Lublin, with 30 points from the start of the season, remains the strongest team in this year’s competition. Last week’s battle with Leszno ended with a high victory for coach Maciej Kuciapa’s team, 55:35. Thus, they will head to Wrocław eager for another three-point win.

The team of ZOOLESZCZ GKM Grudziądz is currently in 7th place in the standings with 11 points. Recent matches by Robert Kościecha’s protégés have alternately ended in victory or defeat. A potential victory for Grudziądz in Friday’s match would further shake up the standings, which remains incredibly tight in the context of the play-offs and relegation.

The team of KRONO-PLAST WŁÓKNIARZ Częstochowa recently had a thrilling match with NOVYHOTEL FALUBAZ Zielona Góra. The outcome remained undecided until the last race of the day. Ultimately, the match ended in a draw, with Częstochowa’s team taking the bonus.
