Budućnost Podgorica - Polonia Warszawa

Hot summer time Intertoto Cup:

22-06-2003 Polonia Warszawa - Tobol Kustanay 0:3

29-06-2003 Tobol Kustanay - Polonia Warszawa 2:1

Totally unknown opponent from far Kazakhstan was too strong for Polish team. It was big shame but not the last one for Polish team in last few years in European competition. Beginning of July is very unfavourable term for Polonia. The season in Poland has just stopped at the end

of May so after short break for summer holiday players must be in full fit for that game.

Just 3 friendly games is to little to prepere team for so important game. Luck of freshness could be decisive for the final results of the game. Budućnost Podgorica from Montenegro will for sure fight for the win in that game. Players from Montenegro said that chances are 50-50

before first game and they are happy that they will play first game at home ground.

Coach from Polonia J. Grembocki told: This term is very bad for us because we have just short break after hard season and we played in it narrow squad so key players could be in not 100 % fit now. I am happy after friendlies and we are going for good results to Montenegro.

What could be good result for Polonia ? I think score a goal will be good because winning in so hot place near 40 degree could be impossible. The other bad fact is that key players are thinking about leaving Warszawa. Przyrowski didn't sign new better contract was observed by Tottenham, Jodłowiec most overrated player is on Napoli, Sunderland and Hoffenheim target and

Majewski which played great 2 years ago now is almost out because Polonia want to loan him.

This all fact make me fell this game can't be won and I will bet 1X on Budućnost Podgorica.
