AI match recap
Sunderland arrive with the stronger European start and a more stable defensive platform, while Lech need a response after failing to settle into the pace of this competition. The hosts still have genuine attacking quality through Walemark, Rodriguez and Ishak, particularly in front of a committed Poznan crowd. Lech’s depleted forward unit and Sunderland’s uncertainty at centre-forward are the main counterweights to the visitors’ overall edge. The match should hinge on whether Lech can play through Sunderland’s central screen without exposing themselves to transition attacks.
Injuries and absences
Lech lose important depth and direct running without Sayyadmanesh, Gholizadeh and Douglas. Sunderland’s forward selection is unsettled by Brobbey’s managed return and the doubts around Isidor, while Mundle remains absent.
