Olimpia Elbląg form and stats

Olimpia Elbląg's first 2. Liga East home game here at Stadion im. Stanisława Figasa ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats from 17 matches.

The Olimpia Elbląg coach Gomułka and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Garbarnia Kraków in the Polish Cup.

A 1-1 draw away in the 2. Liga East before that, with Motor Lublin the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Olimpia Elbląg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Olimpia Elbląg as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Olimpia Elbląg has won 3 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.

At Stadion im. Stanisława Figasa, Olimpia Elbląg has the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Kalisz form and stats

Let's have a look at how Kalisz performed last season in the 2. Liga East: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 3 draws and 18 defeats. In total they scored 43 and conceded 48 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 0 and lost 12 with 15/24 goals scored/conceded.

Two travels in a row for Kalisz, whose manager Tarachulski could celebrate last time after the Polish Cup win against Wigry Suwaki. That win felt nice as this team had gone three league games without victory.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Garbarnia Kraków.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kalisz playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 5 Kalisz wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last five meetings: two - two - one (Olimpia Elbląg wins - draws - Kalisz wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
