Lech PoznańNo absentees
SunderlandNo absentees
Sunderland take their flawless away record to Poznan at 5.45pm (UK time) on Thursday, and our Lech Poznan vs Sunderland predictions back the Black Cats to make it three Europa League wins from three against the competition’s bottom side.
The Wearsiders have won both of their opening league-phase matches, including a 2-1 success away at Torreense. Lech Poznan, meanwhile, prop up the 36-team table after shipping eight goals in two heavy defeats.
A gulf in form could hardly be clearer, with the hosts yet to score a single goal in this season’s competition. We expect Sunderland to extend their perfect start on the road.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has gone for two selections at the INEA Stadion: Wilson Isidor to score anytime, plus Granit Xhaka to provide an assist in the anytime assist market.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Wilson Isidor to score anytime | 6/4 (Ladbrokes) | Lech Poznan have been torn apart in this competition, conceding four goals in each of their opening two games to ship eight in total without reply. That generosity makes them ideal opponents for a centre-forward in form, and Isidor leads the Sunderland line. The Black Cats have scored in both their European ties and won 2-1 away at Torreense last time out, showing they can find the net on the road. Against a defence without a single clean sheet this season, 6/4 about the striker breaking the deadlock or adding to the tally looks a fair price. |
| Granit Xhaka to assist | 11/2 (Ladbrokes) | Xhaka pulls the strings from deep for Sunderland and is their chief source of creativity from midfield. Lech Poznan have conceded eight goals across two matches and kept nobody out, so the visitors should carve out a stack of chances in Poznan. With the Black Cats unbeaten and scoring in both European outings, the Swiss international is well placed to tee up at least one of those goals. At 11/2 in the anytime assist market, his set-piece delivery and range of passing give the selection plenty going for it against the league phase’s leakiest defence. |

How Lech Poznan go into the game
Lech Poznan sit rock bottom of the league phase on nil points, having lost both of their opening games. The Polish side have yet to find the net, conceding eight goals in the process for a grim minus-eight difference.
Their most recent outing was a 4-0 home hammering by Bayer Leverkusen, following a 4-0 loss away at Crystal Palace. Two blank, one-sided defeats leave them with plenty to prove in front of their own supporters.
How Sunderland go into the game
Sunderland have made a perfect start, taking six points from their first two matches to sit ninth. A tight outfit, they have scored three and conceded just one, keeping one clean sheet along the way.
The Black Cats come in off a 2-1 win away at Torreense, having opened with a 1-0 home victory over AZ. Unbeaten and already proven on their travels, they look well equipped to make it three wins from three.
Lech Poznan vs Sunderland head-to-head
There is no competitive history between these clubs, so Thursday’s meeting in Poznan will be the first time Lech Poznan and Sunderland have faced one another. The form guide, though, could scarcely be more lopsided in the visitors’ favour.
Lech Poznan vs Sunderland predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
