Piast Gliwice form and stats

Piast Gliwice's struggle is real here at Stadion Miejski with only 7 points collected from 8 Ekstraklasa games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5. When Piast Gliwice hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Lechia Gdańsk, Zagłębie Lubin, Piast Gliwice, Miedz Legnica and Korona Kielce), they have won 1 of 2 matches! It's been an uphill battle for Piast Gliwice in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Śląsk Wrocław game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Piast Gliwice are returning here after visiting Lechia Gdańsk and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. Dziczek and Chrapek scored the goal(s). A huge relief, as that was the first three points in the league after failing to win nine consecutive matches. Gliwice goalkeeper Plach did an outstanding job against Lechia Gdańsk with seven saves, so vital to securing the victory. Midfielder Chrapek was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.95 (out of ten) in that game. Chrapek scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 35 successful passes (of 43 total).

Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Gornik eczna (after extra-time) in the Polish Cup. This is expected to be a close game, with Piast Gliwice perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Piast Gliwice as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Piast Gliwice has won 1 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

The Gliwice fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. On the other hand, Piast Gliwice have conceded 10 goals. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
