Olimpia Grudziądz are welcoming Stargard Szczeciński for another important game after their 1-1 result against 11th-placed Znicz Pruszkow.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the 2. Liga East. This match was also played here at Stadion Miejski im. Bronisława Malinowskiego. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Stargard Szczeciński have had more rest.

Olimpia Grudziądz form and stats

Olimpia Grudziądz, who have the fewest points (1) at home in 2. Liga East, have played 5 2. Liga East games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). Grudziądz are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadion Miejski im. Bronisława Malinowskiego with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in twelve attempts. The last victory here came in the Zagebie Sosnowiec match.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Znicz Pruszkow in the 2. Liga East last time out and are looking for a win here. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Olimpia Elblag.

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 Olimpia Grudziądz have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost four.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Grudziądz as they have a new game in only two days, a Polish Cup match thankfully also at home. Lechia Gdansk are visiting.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Grudziądz here at Stadion Miejski im. Bronisława Malinowskiego in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 5 games). Grudziądz are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 5 played).

Stargard Szczeciński form and stats

Stargard Szczeciński, who have the the worst goal difference (-15) in 2. Liga East, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the 2. Liga East, after 1-1-4 (6 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Szczeciński as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Hutnik Krakow match. Stargard Szczeciński seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Stargard Szczeciński might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Pogon Siedlce proved too strong as Stargard Szczeciński slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Miejski im. Floriana Krygiera. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Polkowice's place.

Szczeciński are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and five defeats. From a total of eight matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Stargard Szczeciński are hosting Lech Poznan II in the 2. Liga East only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Szczeciński as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Szczeciński have conceded 13 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: two - zero - zero (Grudziądz wins - draws - Stargard Szczeciński wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.
