We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Cracovia Kraków form and stats
When playing at home in the Ekstraklasa, Cracovia Kraków, who have the fewest scored goals (26) in Ekstraklasa, have managed 5 wins, 5 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 13 games. Two home wins in a row for Cracovia bring valid hopes of a third.
The Cracovia goalkeeper Lukas Hrosso is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 323 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ekstraklasa.
The home team returns to Stadion Cracovii im. Józefa Piłsudskiego after being equal after 90 minutes with Wisła Kraków (placed 12th) on their last time out; the Ekstraklasa game ended 0-0. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Wisła Płock in a game that was won 1-0.
Sergiu Hanca felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Wisła Kraków as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 67th minute.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cracovia Kraków have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won eight, drawn two and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Cracovia as they are travelling to their away game against Lechia Gdańsk in the Ekstraklasa. That match is four days after this one.
The Cracovia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. 17 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Górnik Zabrze form and stats
As the visiting team in Ekstraklasa matches, Górnik Zabrze, who have the fewest scored goals (8) away in Ekstraklasa, have produced an overall stat of 4-3-6 so far. Górnik Zabrze has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
The attacking players of Górnik Zabrze have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 244 minutes.
Górnik might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Wisła Płock proved too strong as Górnik Zabrze slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Arena Zabrze. Prior to that match, the Górnik manager M. Brosz faced defeat when travelling to Pogoń Szczecin and losing 0-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Górnik playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two Górnik Zabrze wins, three draws and four defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Jagiellonia Białystok in just four days.
The attacking power of Górnik Zabrze when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Górnik Zabrze as they have only conceded 11 goals from these away games.
