Nieciecza form and stats

5-0-1 is the performance here at Stadion Termaliki Bruk-Bet Nieciecza so far in the 1. Liga, giving Nieciecza a total of 15 from their 6 games here. Outstanding results! The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Nieciecza has won four games in a row. The Arka Gdynia match was the last time out without a victory. Two home wins in a row for Nieciecza bring valid hopes of a third.

The Nieciecza goalkeeper Tomasz Loska is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 182 minutes without conceding a goal in the 1. Liga.

Happy days for Nieciecza in their previous game, a 1. Liga match away at Chrobry Głogów (placed 12th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Preceding that match was a Polish Cup defeat to Rakow Czestochowa (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 Nieciecza have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost one.

There will be little rest for Nieciecza after this match as they are travelling to Puszcza Niepołomice for a 1. Liga game in only four days.

The Nieciecza fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 10 goals in 6 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Nieciecza have only let in 3 goals at home.
