Cracovia Kraków form and stats

Cracovia Kraków have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Ekstraklasa. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 316 minutes without scoring a league goal. Källman was the last player to find the net.

In their previous game, the manager Zielinski led his Cracovia to a defeat away at Widzew Lodz. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Cracovii im. Józefa Piłsudskiego. Before that beating this team had gone six consecutive league rounds without being beaten.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Warta Poznan the opponent.

Pogoń Szczecin form and stats

Things could have gone better for Pogoń Szczecin in their Ekstraklasa away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Bichakhchyan, Gorgon and Lončar scored in Pogoń Szczecin's previous match, the home game against Korona Kielce that ended 3-1.

Gorgon scored one goal and hit four key passes.

A 0-1 defeat away at Zagebie Lubin before that.
