Lech Poznań matches have produced three goals or more – so it's goals on the agenda tonight, surely?!

First

Despite playing twice in Poland last season, it is, of course, the Eagles' first European meeting with Polish opposition.

One from four

Lech Poznań have only won against English teams once from four meetings: defeating Manchester City in the 2010/11 Europa League group stages.

Three of the four games have been defeats for the Poles.

15

Poznań are a side who score goals, having netted – incredibly – in their last 15 consecutive European away matches.

Indeed, in 14 games so far this season, they have scored...

35

Goals. Quite some strike record!

Nine

Poznań's nine-game unbeaten run was halted on Saturday as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Górnik Zabrze in the Ekstraklasa.

Four in three

Daichi Kamada has contributed one goal and three assists in Palace's last three games – a creative talent in form.

Three-in-a-row?

A team from the Premier League has now won the Europa League in back-to-back seasons.

Fancy making it three in a row, Palace fans?
