Tight, tactical match likely in Poland
There is an interesting contrast in the respective coaching styles of these teams with Daniel Myśliwiec's Piast Gliwice playing a much faster, more vertical game that tries to win the ball early and get on the front foot quickly. Leszek Ojrzyński's Zagłębie sit compact and prefer to play their football out of their opponents' pressing traps by countering with the ball.
Piast are the favourites here at 2.34, but the hosts look good value at 3.05 and the draw is worth a look at 3.15 too. In our Zaglebie Lubin vs Piast Gliwice prediction, it is 1-1-1 in the last 3 head-to-head meetings, which are often close and competitive affairs.
Zagłębie enter this matchup on the back of two straight losses, a 0-1 home loss to Pogoń Szczecin and a 1-0 away defeat to Jagiellonia Białystok. Piast, meanwhile, have also been in indifferent form recently, winning 1, drawing 2 and losing 2 of their last 5.
Ojrzyński's men must sharpen up their game
Ojrzyński, who took over the reigns on 13 March 2025, has seen his side produce some improved structure, but also some blunt performances. The visitors, who have played under Myśliwiec since 23 October 2025, have a more assertive style of play and will try to take the game to Zaglebie.
The home side have only scored 0.40 goals per game at home across all competitions this season, netting just twice in five outings at the KGHM Zaglebie Arena. Piast have been more solid away from home with a 1-2-2 record, scoring 1.40 goals and conceding 1.60 per away game.
Myśliwiec's men will fancy their chances of securing a result on Monday as they have done so in 2 of the last 3 meetings with Zaglebie, who have failed to win either of their 2 previous home games against Piast. However, with a greater sense of structure and a different personnel, they can land a blow in this game as Zaglebie did in the 3-1 away win over Piast in the Ekstraklasa 2025/2026. Our Zaglebie Lubin vs Piast Gliwice preview also points to a tight contest.
Zagłębie can still make a mess of this
Backing Under 2.5 goals at 1.65 could be a decent bet here and Both Teams To Score: No at 1.85 is probably a sharper angle on the game. The matchup and respective styles mean this will probably be a close and tactical encounter rather than a free-flowing shootout.
Piast's more aggressive and vertical style should see them win the second ball and create a few turnovers on the break, but Zagłębie, in their usual 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 shapes, will do all they can to slow the pace and frustrate the visitors' press. For Zaglebie Lubin vs Piast Gliwice betting tips, Under 2.5 goals looks the standout option.
Ojrzyński's side have lost momentum with a run of 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats over their last 10 that has left them vulnerable to the drop. They must play better on Monday if they are to secure a positive result against Piast, who have been more consistent in recent months. The forecast suggests another low-scoring affair.
