PGE Projekt Warszawa vs. Asseco Resovia Rzeszów Prediction on November 6, 2025

Match info

The fourth round of the 2025–26 PlusLiga brings in the biggest derby of the season in Poland’s top men’s volleyball league and one of Europe’s strongest, which is the 26th season of the Polish Volleyball Championship as a professional league, so far. Early-round head-to-heads between title hopefuls like PGE Projekt Warszawa and Asseco Resovia Rzeszów shape seeding and momentum in a parity-heavy year.

These two will face off on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 8:30 p.m. CET (20:30 Central European Time, local time) at Arena Ursynów in Warsaw. Table snapshots from live trackers back that picture—Projekt sitting on the top rungs, Resovia in the top cluster as second—so this is a genuine early-season barometer.

Meeting statistics

Current form & playstyle: PGE Projekt Warszawa

Projekt arrive in form and with swagger. They’ve taken statement wins to open the campaign—most notably turning over giants Jastrzębski and sweeping Zawiercie—results that match the eye test: aggressive serving to unhinge reception, plus quick middle offense through Kochanowski/Kłos off Jan Firlej’s fast tempo, with Bartosz Bednorz providing the terminal swing in high-leverage rotations.

It looks like Tommi Tiilikainen’s group is picking up where last season’s bronze run left off—clean side-out patterns and a block/defense that feeds transition.

Current form & playstyle: Asseco Resovia Rzeszów

“The Stripes” also started brightly and are trending up after a gritty tie-break home win over Trefl in the second round and a clean, no-nonsense sweep of Cuprum. They lean on a balanced “five-point” attack: opposite Karol Butryn as the blunt instrument, outsides like Čebulj/Szalpuk for width, and dynamic middles Poręba/Demyanenko to keep the pipe honest. With elite reception anchored by Paweł Zatorski (and depth at libero), they’re comfortable stretching rallies and turning serve pressure into scoring runs.

Head-to-head

Knowing that Projekt have gone through several name changes (Politechnika Warszawska → ONICO Warszawa → Verva Warszawa → Projekt Warszawa), we’ll calculate the head-to-head by tracking the capital club entity, not the sponsor name. Counting all official matches, there were 60 matches total since the mid-2000s. Resovia won 35, while Projekt won 25.

Match analytics

This matchup is close on paper, but Projekt enter with the cleaner side-out structure and the more reliable late-rally scoring options. Their serve-to-block cohesion has looked sharper in the early rounds this season, especially when Firlej accelerates the tempo through the middle to keep blocking mismatches alive. At home, they traditionally control rhythm better and feed the crowd’s energy into serve pressure runs.

Because of the momentum, home atmosphere, and more stable system early in the season, the edge goes to Projekt — likely in a 3–1 or tight 3–2. At the moment of writing the betting thread, bookmakers, even Poland bookmakers, haven’t released odds for the fourth round because the third round was still ongoing. Wazamba might be the option for placing the bet on Projekt vs Resovia, as they have a solid market offer for volleyball.
