Intense schedule, striking numbers

Lech’s first team has had a very intense match schedule since the start of the 2020/2021 campaign. Over the past five months, the squad from Poznań played 26 matches in total, with a game scheduled every 3 or 4 days, and travelled over 20,000 kilometres.

31 matches – 30 league clashes and 1 Polish Cup game – is the minimum number of games that any Polish Ekstraklasa side is going to play throughout the 2020/2021 campaign. A majority of top-division teams will compete in more games than that, especially Lech Poznań who has already finished the first part of the season with 26 matches played. This statistic emphasises how intense Lech’s schedule has been. Even though the team from Poznań had a few breaks here and there, the club from Greater Poland hasn’t experienced a similar match marathon since the 2015/2016 season.

AUTUMN ROUND 2020/21

Start date: August 15th
End date: December 19th

Total days: 126
No. of matches: 26, including: 14 - PKO Ekstraklasa, 2 - Fortuna Polish Cup, 4 – Europa League qualifiers, 6 – Europa League group phase

Average: match every 4.8 days

AUTUMN ROUND 2015/16

Start date: July 10th
End date: December 20th
Total days: 163
No. of matches: 38, including: 21 - PKO Ekstraklasa, 1 – Polish Super Cup, 4 – Polish Cup, 4 – Champions League qualifiers, 2 – Europa League qualifiers, 6 – Europa League group phase

Average: match every 4.3 days

During an average season, a team plays one match every 5.8 to 6.6 days – that is a normal league match rhythm. These calculations include international breaks – if it weren’t for them, the average would probably amount to a match per every 3 days. If we take a closer look at Lech’s autumn schedule, the team form Poznań had 4 mini "match marathons" during which the squad had to compete every 3 days.

The fatigue, which was evident by the end of the autumn round, was intensified by numerous travels. The number of kilometres that Lech has covered over the past 5 months deserves attention too. Throughout the autumn round, the team from Poznań visited 15 cities: Opole, Lubin, Wrocław, Stockholm, Limassol, Charleroi, Gliwice, Białystok, Glasgow, Pruszków, Warsaw, Liège, Gdańsk, Lisbon, and Mielec. In total, Lech travelled a distance of 22,000 kilometres*.
