A duel between the teams ranked first and second in the standings is the highlight of the fourth leg of the first round of the regular season of the 2025-2026 Tauron Liga, which starts on Thursday in Poland.

Direct opponents in the battle for first place, defending champions KS DevelopRes Rzeszów and MOYA Radomka Radom are set to meet on Friday, at 19:00 local time (18:00 GMT), in the most exciting match of the week in the Polish League.

DevelopRes and Radomka Radom switched positions last weekend, when the defending champions fell to PGE Budowlani Łódź, and their rivals triumphed against ŁKS Commercecon Łódź, moving up to first place. They enter Saturday's duel separated by just one point, as Radomka Radom, the only undefeated team in the league, have eight and DevelopRes have seven.

Playing at home, the defending champions will try to recover from last weekend's upset while also returning to the top of the standings. One of their new signings for the 2025-2026 season, American opposite Taylor Bannister is the team's top scorer in the Tauron Liga with 45 points and will be a key player for them in this weekend's match.

"After three matches, we expected our game to be a little more consistent at this point," outside hitter Julita Piasecka said. "But we keep working to improve our chemistry on the court and develop all elements of our game."

Radomka Radom, who didn't drop sets in their first two matches before needing all five to overcome Commercecon last weekend, have in Swiss outside hitter Julie Lengweiler their most productive player so far in the season, with 46 points amassed.

With the two teams consistently facing each other in the Polish League since the 2018-2019 season, DevelopRes have a very successful record in the series, having won 15 of the 16 encounters. Radomka Radom's only victory against the defending champions happened in the 2023-2024 season.

First match on Thursday

The first of the six matches of the fourth leg will be held on Wednesday, when 11th-placed Sokół & Hagric Mogilno face ninth-placed UNI Opole at 17:30 (16:30 GMT). On Friday, besides the duel between DevelopRes and Radomka Radom, the schedule also includes a matchup reuniting fourth-placed Budowlani and fifth-placed LOTTO Chemik Police, also at 17:30 (16:30 GMT).
