Barkom and Olsztyn will play tomorrow in the Polish Plus League.
Barkom occupies the 11th place in the Polish Plus League with 10 wins and 14 losses, showing noticeable progress by winning 3 of the last 5 matches. This success allowed the team to move up two positions in the league table, although it did not provide a chance to enter the top 8 and continue the fight for high places in the championship. In the recent games, Barkom revealed its strength, especially in clashes with league leaders, achieving a sensational victory over Jastrzębski Węgiel with a score of 3:0 on 17 February and defeating Zawiercie with a score of 3:2 on 11 February, confirming their ability to compete and win against the strongest teams.
However, in the last key match against one of the main competitors for the playoffs, Stal Nysa, Barkom suffered a defeat with a score of 0:3, which served as a reminder of the challenges facing the team and showed that it is too early for the team to compete for the quarterfinals. Despite the loss to Kędzierzyn-Koźle on 24 February with a score of 1:3, the team quickly recovered, continuing their winning streak with victories over Cuprum on 1 March with a score of 3:2, previously defeating Ślepsk Suwałki on 3 February with a score of 3:0.
Despite the challenging position in the table, Barkom shows that they can not only challenge the league leaders but also have the potential for further improvement of their results.
In the last month, Olsztyn has shown noticeable progress in the Polish Plus League, moving up three positions and occupying the eighth place, which gives the right to participate in the playoffs from the quarterfinals. With a total result of 11 wins and 13 losses, Olsztyn has achieved four victories in the last five matches, which is a significant achievement for the team.
The winning streak began on 2 February, when Olsztyn confidently defeated Bełchatów with a score of 3:0. Then followed a victory over Norwid Częstochowa on 7 February, also with a clean score of 3:0, demonstrating the team's confidence. A key moment was the victory over Jastrzębski Węgiel on 17 February with a score of 3:1, which is particularly important considering that Jastrzębski Węgiel occupies a high place in the league. This success highlights Olsztyn's ability to compete with the leading teams in the league.
However, on 26 February, Olsztyn suffered a defeat from GKS Katowice with a score of 2:3 on a tie-break, despite leading 2:1 in sets. This defeat was the only unsuccessful performance in the series of recent matches, but it did not overshadow the overall positive trend of the team. The last victory over Czarni Radom on 5 March with a score of 3:1 secured Olsztyn's position in the playoff zone.
These results show that Olsztyn is in good form, successfully overcoming teams from the lower half of the table and even inflicting defeat on strong opponents. Such a rise in form at a critical moment of the season creates good prospects for Olsztyn to participate in the playoffs and the possibility of continuing the fight for high places in the championship.
In the latest personal encounters between Olsztyn and Barkom, tomorrow's guests lead with a score of 2-1. On 6 December 2023, a game took place where Barkom secured a victory over Olsztyn with a score of 3:2. However, in the match on 3 March 2023, Olsztyn confidently won against Barkom with a score of 3:0. In the first personal encounter on 24 November 2022, Barkom and Olsztyn again engaged in a tense struggle, which ended with a victory for Olsztyn with a score of 3:2.
I predict a confident victory for Olsztyn by at least 2 sets, Barkom has no chance against the mid-tier of the Plus League. The last victory over Czarni Radom on 5 March with a score of 3:1 solidified Olsztyn's position in the playoff zone.
