This is a pre-season friendly between Austrian side Sturm Graz and Polish club Pogoń Szczecin. They have met three times before: Sturm Graz won in 2014, while Pogoń prevailed in 2020 and most recently in 2024 with a convincing 6-1 victory. Sturm Graz have shown mixed form in their summer warm-up matches, with big wins but also defensive weaknesses in some games. Pogoń Szczecin have likewise produced mixed results in pre-season, most recently suffering a heavy defeat against Fenerbahçe. Both teams are using this match to fine-tune their tactics and player sharpness ahead of the new league season, so motivation is high to find stability and confidence. It is an open contest with an uncertain outcome, where Pogoń have the recent historical edge, while Sturm Graz have home advantage.
