Appearing at their own stadium in the last season Cracovia Kraków delivered 7-5-5 (win-draw-lost) with 24 goals and 19 conceded.

Cracovia enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Gornik Zabrze's place. The match ended 2-0 with Loshaj and Rakoczy scoring. The striker Rakoczy won the honour of being "man of the match" for Cracovia Kraków with a rating of 8.05/10. Rakoczy scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Legia Warszawa (0-3).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Cracovia's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 0 matches, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Korona Kielce form and stats

Let's have a look at how Korona Kielce performed last season in the 1. Liga: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 11 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 46 and conceded 37 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 8 and lost 3 with 23/20 goals scored/conceded.

There were no winners in Korona Kielce's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Legia Warszawa (placed 8th). Midfielder Deja was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.82. Deja hit three key passes.

That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Chrobry Gogow (after extra-time) in the 1. Liga.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Korona Kielce playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 2 home wins.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Cracovia victories, two draws and three Korona Kielce wins. Over/under statistics; seven of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
