This season Dabrowa look far better than their last year's nemesis Sopot. Two weeks ago the beat them in a Supercup game with almost no difficulty and in straight sets. They routinely beat Legionova in the first round of the championship, although many consider them this season's potential shocker. Sopot played poorly away to a strong Chemik, they made lots of errors and seemed miles away from their true form. Their current weak form isn't surprising, I believe it'll take time for everything to fall into place. This is due to their national team players' (Pietersen, Molnar, Leys and Hill) being late in joining the team. These players didn't spend the pre-season with the team and only joined them a week or two before the start of the championship. Dabrowa are far more coordinated since they spent their summer together as a team and did their pre-season in the United States, where they played a dozen friendlies. This will all be a huge advantage for them today. Sopot are still not entirely with it since they were abandoned by Rourke, the player who used to beat their opponents almost single-handedly. They currently have no such players in their ranks. They even had to change their tactics without her, and that takes time. Sopot's only advantage today is their home court, but I don't believe that's going to be enough to beat the brilliant Dabrowa Gornicza, who are motivated to win in the hall where the title slipped through their fingers last season.
