Insights:
  • Warta Poznań have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Cracovia Kraków have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (6) in Ekstraklasa

Only a few days to rest for the host team, as they performed in a Ekstraklasa game only four days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Wisla Plock.

Warta Poznań form and stats

With 2 Ekstraklasa wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Warta Poznań are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Warta Poznań lost their last game at Wisla Plock (placed 9th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Midfielder Grzesik was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.43 (out of ten) in that game. Grzesik hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Widzew Lodz with a 2-0 scoreline.

Low-scoring affair? Looking at this team's last 19 league matches, 15 have contained zero, one or two goals.

The Poznań fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
