Bogdanka LUK Lublin – PGE Projekt Warsaw

On Christmas Eve we get a top match from PlusLiga when Bogdanka LUK Lublin takes on PGE Projekt Warszawa in the match to lead Plusliga when Christmas comes. With a high tempo, strong serves and profiles on both teams, everything is set for an entertaining volleyball match at 20:00. Both the teams' form and mutual history point towards an even and intense match. And I expect this match between Bogdanka LUK Lublin and PGE Projekt Warszawa to be both close and exciting.

Bogdanka LUK Lublin – the team everyone wants to beat in PlusLiga?

Lublin come into the match in strong form and with several good results recently. They have shown that they can dominate matches, especially at home, led by star player Wilfredo León. The team plays with high intensity in both serve and attack, and has offensive qualities that can decide matches if they get their game flowing. And they will probably give the home fans a good start to the New Year.

PGE Projekt Warszawa – routine and stability

Projekt Warszawa, however, is a more experienced top team and has had a clear advantage in several of the head-to-head matches in recent seasons. They appear stable in reception and in blocking and defense, and are often good at controlling the match in even sets. Warsaw has also shown that they handle pressure well, especially in long matches and five-setters, which can be decisive if the match is close.

What can we expect on Christmas Eve itself?

The key for Lublin will be to get good value on the serve and force Warsaw out of the system, while keeping the error rate down. Home court advantage and more rest than the opponent also speak in Lublin's favor. For Warsaw, it's about playing controlled, using the width in the attack and taking advantage of the routine in crucial moments. Considering that Warsaw played an away match only four days ago, the load could be a challenge. I also have a hard time seeing how this Warsaw team will be able to stop Wilfredo León effectively in blocking and defense.

Therefore, I am betting on a victory for Bogdanka LUK Lublin.
