Lech Poznan and Standard Liege go head to head at Stadion Miejski in the Europa League group stages round 3. Lech Poznan kicked off their Europa League campaign with a 4-2 loss to Benfica, and, to make things even worse for the fans, they suffered a 1-0 loss to Rangers in their second group game. The hosts are low on spirits ahead of the visit of Standard, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Make the best sports bet with Betpawa and win a cool cash prize!
The Red Devils have been struggling in all competitions of late, and seeing that several first-team regulars have been tested positive for coronavirus, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Lech Poznan. The Polish outfit did suffer the loss at Ibrox Stadium, but their display in the loss to Rangers was anything but poor. That is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts.
