Arka Gdynia form and stats

Arka Gdynia have played 10 1. Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Arka Gdynia drew their last game, also a home match. Piast Gliwice (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Heartbreak before that as Gdynia lost 0-1 at Tychy 71's place.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Gdynia's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn one and lost zero.

Gdynia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. Gdynia are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadion Miejski in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 10 matches.
