The second leg of this UEFA Europa League Playoffs tie is as straightforward as it gets on paper. Lech Poznan arrive at the Stockhorn Arena carrying a 7-0 aggregate lead from the first leg, a result that effectively ended this tie before it began. Thun, a Swiss Super League side coached by Gian Luca Privitelli, face the near-impossible task of overturning that deficit at home. What makes this fixture worth watching is whether Lech, under Niels Frederiksen, come out with any real intensity or simply manage the game through to the group stage.
Patrick Walemark has been the standout forward for Lech Poznan in recent weeks, contributing five goals across his last six appearances with consistent shot volume and intelligent movement. For Thun, Brighton Labeau has shown he can create danger from forward positions, scoring three times in his last five games, and he will need to be at his very best if Thun are to register anything meaningful in this second leg.
A hot stat that stands out: Lech Poznan have scored 25 goals across their last five matches, averaging five per game. That is not a run built against weak opposition either, with Klaksvik and Piast Gliwice among the teams they dispatched. Thun’s defensive record in the same period tells a concerning story, conceding across nearly every game.

Thun vs Lech Poznan Prediction
With a 7-0 first-leg result already in the books, Lech Poznan are through. The only real question for this second leg is how both sides approach it tactically. Thun have nothing to lose and may push forward, which could actually open space for Lech on the counter. We predict Lech Poznan to win or draw this match, but the more interesting market here is total goals.
Thun’s recent domestic form shows some positive signs, including a 6-0 win over Saxon Sports and a 3-0 win over Vikingur, so they are capable of scoring at home. Lech may not press with the same urgency as in the first leg, and their coach could rotate. That creates a scenario where both teams find the net.
Thun average 13 yellow cards across their last five matches compared to Lech’s seven, which signals a more physical and less disciplined defensive approach from the Swiss side. Lech play a structured 4-4-2 and maintain better pass accuracy over a larger volume of attempts, which gives them the edge in controlling tempo. Thun’s 4-2-3-1 relies on quick transitions, but their ball retention is inconsistent, and Lech’s 28 interceptions across five games suggest they press and win the ball back efficiently.

Team Analysis
Thun’s recent run of results has been mixed. They won three of their last eight matches in all competitions, with defeats making up the majority. Their 6-0 win over Saxon Sports flatters the sequence slightly, as that opponent ranked among the weakest they have faced. Against competitive teams like Basel and Vikingur Reykjavik, Thun dropped points and conceded regularly. The 0-7 loss to Lech in the first leg was a stark reminder of the gap in quality at this level of European football.
Lech Poznan have been in excellent form, winning five of their last seven matches with just one defeat in that stretch. Their 7-0 demolition of Thun was the headline result, but the 5-0 win over Klaksvik and a 3-0 victory against Piast Gliwice show this is a side firing on all cylinders. They score in bunches, press with structure, and their attacking players are rotating the scoring responsibility well across the squad. Allahyar Sayyadmanesh has contributed five goals and three assists in six appearances, making him one of the most productive players in this tie.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Lech Poznan the Favourite
- Moneyline Thun 2.64 | Lech Poznan 2.21
- Draw 4.24
- Over/Under Over 2.5 — | Under 2.5 —
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes — | No —
The bookmakers price Lech at around 2.21 to win, which reflects their 42% implied win probability. Thun at 2.64 is generous given the context of this tie, and that price likely accounts for second-leg rotation and reduced intensity from the Polish side. The draw at 4.24 via Pinnacle is fair. Given Lech’s firepower and Thun’s defensive fragility, the value lies in backing goals rather than a specific winner. Lech scoring in both halves at enhanced odds is the market we find most compelling for this fixture.
Possible Starting Lineups
Thun Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Niklas Steffen
- DF: Jan Bamert, Fabio Fehr, Nicolas Bürgy, Marco Burki
- MF: Justin Roth, Nassim Zoukit, Nils Reichmuth, Valmir Matoshi
- FW: Brighton Labeau, Furkan Dursun
Privitelli is likely to set up in a 4-2-3-1 shape, with Niklas Steffen keeping his place in goal after five appearances. Jan Bamert and Fabio Fehr provide the most reliable options at the back based on minutes played. Nils Reichmuth carries two assists from midfield and could be the creative spark. Brighton Labeau and Furkan Dursun lead the forward line, with both having scored three goals each across their last five games.
Lech Poznan Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Mateusz Lis
- DF: Wojciech Monka, Mateusz Skrzypczak, Joel Pereira, Robert Gumny
- MF: Radosław Murawski, Antoni Kozubal, Pablo Rodriguez Delgado, Luis Palma
- FW: Patrick Walemark, Allahyar Sayyadmanesh
Frederiksen has consistently deployed a 4-4-2, and Mateusz Lis has started in goal across all six tracked matches. Wojciech Monka and Joel Pereira anchor the defensive line with the most minutes logged. Pablo Rodriguez Delgado stands out in midfield with six assists in six matches and 14 free kicks won. Up front, Walemark and Sayyadmanesh form a dangerous partnership, combining for ten goals in this run. Expect some rotation given the aggregate score, but the core of this side should still feature.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Lech Poznan are through and both coaches know it. The first leg result removed any real competitive tension from this fixture. Thun will want to salvage some pride at home, and their domestic form shows they can score when pressure is off. Lech, to be honest, may not press with the same ferocity as they did in the first leg.
We predict both teams to score, with Lech still taking the win. Their attacking depth, passing structure, and recent goal output are too strong even against a rotated lineup. Thun’s higher foul rate and yellow card count suggest they will get physical, but that tends to create set-piece opportunities for a well-organized side like Lech. Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score are the picks we back with confidence here.
