- KKS Lech Poznan have won 2 and drawn none of their last 2 away matches.
Kolejorz are the clear form team
Kolejorz arrive at Arena Thun in Switzerland in fine form on Thursday, having won their last 5 games in a row and gone unbeaten in that sequence. A 3-0 home win over Piast Gliwice, while they also cruised to a 5-0 victory away at KI Klaksvík just 10 days prior in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026.
Niels Frederiksen has done a fine job since taking over the reins at Poznan on 1st July 2024, building a side that likes to play on the front foot and press high. Lech have scored 3.50 goals per-game away from home across all competitions this season, conceding just 0.50 per-game. That stat indicates that this game could be dominated by the visitors.
FC Thun still licking their wounds from the last meeting
The last head to head meeting in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026 was a brutal affair that saw Lech run out 7-0 winners in a shockingly one-sided affair. Since that result, FC Thun have regained some confidence with a 6-0 away win over FC Saxon Sports in the Swiss Cup 2026/2027, but Gian-Luca Privitelli's men are still reeling from the Poznan result.
Thun have now won 3, drawn 1 and lost 6 of their last 10 in all competitions, which is an unsustainable level of inconsistency. At home they've won 1, drawn 1 and lost 2, while they've shipped 9 goals for an average of 2.25 per-game across all current competitions, so their backline has been far from solid.
Going with the flow
There is a clear contrast in the approach of these two sides, with Lech likely to dominate the territory and FC Thun hoping to catch them on the break. This should be an entertaining fixture, but I feel that Lech are the likelier winner given their current form, firepower and away numbers.
The markets reflect this with Lech coming in at 8/5, while Thun are available at 83/50, so there is still a potential upset, but I'm backing the flow. Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score are the obvious plays here, but those prices are too short (2/5 and 9/25) so I'm going to take a sharper alternative in BTTS No at 19/10.
Patrik Waalemark is Lech's sharpest edge with 3 goals in 3 games in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026, while Brighton Labeau is Thun's main threat with 2 in the same amount of games.
