Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Stal Rzeszów in 7th and SKRA Częstochowa in 11th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Stal Rzeszów can neither be promoted or relegated from 2. Liga East. Częstochowa is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Stal Rzeszów form and stats
Overall 2. Liga East stats at home this season for Stal Rzeszów are 8-3-5 (wins-draw-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Rzeszów after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The home team returns to Stadion Stal after being equal after 90 minutes with Gornik eczna (placed 1st) on their last time out; the 2. Liga East game ended 2-2. Ahead of that match, Rzeszów won a home game hosting Olimpia Elblag (2-0).
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 Rzeszów have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost one.
A decent goal production from Stal Rzeszów in their home games so far, with 25 goals from 16 league matches. 18 goals have been conceded.
SKRA Częstochowa form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for SKRA Częstochowa so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 4-3-9 (win-draw-lose).
Częstochowa delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Pogon Siedlce (placed 13th) in their previous match; a 2. Liga East game. A draw for Częstochowa before that, at their own venue hosting Gornik eczna (0-0).
SKRA Częstochowa are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, two draws and three defeats. From a total of eight matches.
The attacking power of Częstochowa when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 16 league matches away. Częstochowa's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 27 goals from these trips.
