Zagłębie Sosnowiec form and stats

Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Zagłębie Sosnowiec's last three away games as they have all been lost. It's a growing despair in Sosnowiec as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Zagłębie Sosnowiec, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Stomil Olsztyn (placed 13th). A loss against KS odz was the result prior to that, in a home game.
