Zagłębie Sosnowiec form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the 1. Liga this season. Zagłębie Sosnowiec have only managed 2 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stadion Ludowy. Game days at Stadion Ludowy have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Sosnowiec as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Sosnowiec to get some points in this home game.

Zagłębie Sosnowiec faced defeat in their previous match, away at Jastrzębie (1-2). Preceding that match was the home game against Chrobry Głogów that was lost 1-2.
