Jagiellonia Białystok form and stats

8-3-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Ekstraklasa numbers at home for Jagiellonia Białystok so far this season.

The supporters are hoping that Jagiellonia will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-5 away loss in the game against Legia Warszawa (placed 2nd). The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going unbeaten through three league matches. As you see from the result above, Jagiellonia Białystok suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Gual has scored in four games in a row. Skilful! Imaz, an attacker, was the top player for the side in that match, and was presented with a rating of 7.61 (out of 10). Imaz hit the woodwork once, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 33 successful passes (of 40 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Slask Wrocaw.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
