Lech Poznan vs Aarhus
📖 The Preview
Lech come into this second leg sitting pretty after that 4-1 hammering in the first leg, so realistically all they need to do is not completely fall apart. Aarhus need to score three or more without reply, which is an enormous ask at any level, let alone in the Champions League. Lech's recent form is solid, and with the tie essentially over they can sit back, stay compact, and nick a goal on the counter. A narrow 1-0 home win makes perfect sense here.
