Zagłębie Sosnowiec form and stats

Overall 1. Liga stats at home this season for Zagłębie Sosnowiec are 3-1-5 (wins-draw-losses).

The fans are hoping that Zagłębie Sosnowiec will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the 1. Liga game against Tychy 71 (placed 4th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Nieciecza.

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

Sosnowiec are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. Sosnowiec have conceded 12 in these home matches.
