Odra Opole form and stats

Odra Opole have collected 14 points from their 1. Liga home games so far after 3-5-3. With seven home 1. Liga games in a row without a win, the Odra Opole fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Resovia Rzeszow game long ago, can be stopped today. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Odra Opole has four draws from their last four matches.

Opole drew their last game, 1-1 away at Arka Gdynia (placed 6th). 1-1 away at Resovia Rzeszow before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Odra Opole perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Odra Opole as a small favourite), we find eight games. Opole has won two of these, drawn four and lost two.

Opole aren't scoring a lot here at Stadion Miejski in the league, with only 7 goals from 11 games. Opole's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
