Struggling Korona Kielce will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Piast Gliwice in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
For Korona relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Gliwice are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
