The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Piast Gliwice have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 4 and lost 2.

Trench warfare? In this team's last 10 league matches, 8 have seen zero, one or two goals.
