Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Katowice & Górnik Zabrze face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Polish Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Ekstraklasa game only three days ago. That game, against Legia Warszawa, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Górnik Zabrze.
Katowice form and stats
Katowice was eliminated in the round of 32 last season in the Polish Cup.Katowice have played 4 1. Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-0-1 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager Górak led his Katowice to a defeat away at Lechia Gdansk. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion ul. Bukowa. Katowice were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Ahead of that match, Katowice lost 0-1 at home to Zagłębie Sosnowiec.The manager Górak will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Odra Opole in only three days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (10 in 4 games), Katowice's attacking play is working. Katowice are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadion ul. Bukowa in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.
Górnik Zabrze form and stats
Górnik's mission in Polish Cup last season failed in the round of 16.The visitors are W1-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Ekstraklasa.
Górnik Zabrze play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Legia Warszawa. Górnik Zabrze were so close to getting something from the game against Legia Warszawa, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Ruch Chorzów.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Górnik as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. Górnik Zabrze's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
