Arka Gdynia form and stats

Two 1. Liga home games so far for Arka Gdynia, who are yet to win here at Stadion Miejski. Only 1 point so far.

A good away victory last time out for Arka Gdynia, who won 1-0 against Stomil Olsztyn (placed 18th). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of D. Marzec when K. Czubak scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute. A late climax in the match against Stomil Olsztyn as the winning goal came one minutes into overtime; scored by K. Czubak.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Chrobry Gogow (0-2).

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 Gdynia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost two.

Gdynia are traveling soon after this match as the 1. Liga match at Polkowice awaits in four days.
