Lech Poznan – Europa League Form and Betting Odds

Lech Poznan have endured a difficult start to their Europa League campaign, losing both opening matches by 4-0 scorelines. Those results leave the Polish outfit bottom of the 36-team league phase table. They will now be desperate to avoid becoming the first side in competition history to lose their opening three fixtures by four or more goals.
Their recent Europa League record offers little encouragement ahead of Sunderland’s visit. Lech Poznan have lost five consecutive matches in the competition proper, failing to score in the last four. Furthermore, they have suffered defeat in five of their previous six Europa League main draw home fixtures (W1).
Thursday’s encounter will mark the first competitive meeting between Lech Poznan and Sunderland. The hosts have won just one of their five major European matches against English opposition, losing the other four. Their sole victory came against Manchester City in 2010, when they recorded a memorable 3-1 Europa League success. William Hill price the Polish side at 19/5 to claim another victory over Premier League opposition.

Sunderland – Europa League Form and Betting Odds

Sunderland have enjoyed contrasting fortunes domestically and in Europe this season. The Black Cats have won just one of their opening seven Premier League fixtures (D1, L5), but their Europa League campaign has started perfectly. Régis Le Bris’ side have collected maximum points from their opening two European encounters.
The visitors have struggled for consistency away from home, winning just one of their last five matches on the road. However, that victory came in last week’s Europa League trip to Portuguese outfit Torreense. Another European away success could provide a much-needed confidence boost following their disappointing domestic results.
Despite their recent Premier League struggles, Sunderland travel to Poland as favourites to maintain their winning European start. The Black Cats will be determined to respond to Sunday’s defeat and secure another important three points. William Hill make the visitors 8/13 favourites to come away with the victory.
