Górnik Zabrze form and stats

When playing at home in the Ekstraklasa, Górnik Zabrze have managed 3 wins, 0 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games. Two home wins in a row for Górnik bring valid hopes of a third.

A nice win for Górnik Zabrze last time playing, versus Wisla Plock. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-2 with Bartosz Nowak, Piotr Krawczyk, Jesús Jiménez and Krzysztof Kubica scoring for the victors. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Górnik Zabrze enjoyed their 4-2 win against Wisla Plock and the result could have been even better, as they hit the posts four times. Jesús Jiménez, a forward, was the champion performer for the side in that game, scoring a rating of 8.22 (out of 10). Jiménez scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, signed up for two assists, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 29 successful passes (of 34 total).

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Nieciecza.

This is expected to be a close game, with Górnik Zabrze perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Górnik Zabrze as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Górnik has won ten of these, drawn two and lost one.

Two away games in a row for Kraków, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Piast Gliwice in the Ekstraklasa. Ashraf El Mahdioui got a match rating of 7.32 in that game, top player of the team. Mahdioui had 59 successful passes (of 67 total).
