Cracovia Kraków form and stats

Last season, Cracovia Kraków's league statistics were 8 wins, 13 draws and 9 losses, resulting in a 14th position in the Ekstraklasa. Over these 30 matches they scored 28 goals and conceded 32. Playing at home last season Cracovia Kraków managed 6-5-4 (win-draw-lost) with 18 goals and 18 conceded.

Cracovia drew their last game, 1-1 away at Gornik eczna (placed 7th). Marcos Álvarez was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Gornik eczna after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Preceding that match was a defeat to Warta Poznań (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Cracovia Kraków perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cracovia Kraków as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Cracovia Kraków has won eight of these, drawn two and lost four.
