Jagiellonia Białystok conclude their Ekstraklasa campaign on Saturday evening, welcoming Zagłębie Lubin to the Stadion Miejski. With the final league round upon us, both sides are looking to secure a positive result to round off their seasons, though the stakes remain higher for the hosts as they look to consolidate their standing near the top of the table.
While the league table is largely settled, this remains a competitive fixture. Jagiellonia are chasing a strong finish to their European qualification push, while Zagłębie Lubin arrive with ambitions of their own, still mathematically in the hunt for a higher finish should results elsewhere fall their way.
Jagiellonia Białystok form: Can they finish the season strongly at home?
Adrian Siemieniec’s side have enjoyed a productive campaign, currently sitting 3rd in the table with 53 points. Their home record has been a cornerstone of that success, having netted 33 times in their own stadium. While they were held to a 2-2 draw by GKS Katowice last time out, they have proven difficult to beat recently, remaining unbeaten in their last three league outings.
The squad will be hoping to put on a show for the home supporters one last time. Despite the injury concerns regarding Kamil Jóźwiak and Leon Flach, and the suspension of Bartosz Mazurek, the depth in the squad should be sufficient to maintain their attacking intensity.
Zagłębie Lubin form: Will they end the season on a high note?
Leszek Ojrzynski’s team currently sit 6th in the Ekstraklasa standings. It has been a mixed run of form for the visitors, who suffered a narrow 0-1 loss to Pogoń Szczecin in their most recent fixture. Despite that setback, their away form has been respectable throughout the season, with 21 points picked up on their travels.
The club has confirmed they are missing four key players for this final match, which will test their squad depth. Nevertheless, the messaging from the camp is that they remain fully focused on securing a win to potentially climb the table, and they are treating this as a meaningful opportunity rather than a dead rubber.

Statistical trends and H2H
Historically, this fixture has often provided plenty of goalmouth action. Five of the last seven meetings between these two sides have seen over 2.5 goals scored. However, the last competitive encounter in November ended in a goalless draw, highlighting the potential for tactical rigidity when the sides are evenly matched.
Zagłębie have enjoyed a slight edge in recent H2H encounters, remaining unbeaten in their last three clashes with Jagiellonia. With the hosts looking to break that trend and cement their 3rd-place position, the psychological battle on the pitch will be just as important as the tactical one.
We Predict: Home Win
We expect Jagiellonia Białystok to take the initiative and secure the points at 1.5580. Despite Zagłębie’s unbeaten run in this fixture, the combination of Jagiellonia’s strong home scoring record and the visitors’ significant injury list suggests the hosts have the edge. A likely scoreline is 2-1.
