Cracovia Kraków form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Ekstraklasa travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats. With the Cracovia Kraków losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Cracovia Kraków's last three away games as they have all been lost.

It's the second away game in a row for Cracovia Kraków, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Tychy 71 (after extra-time) in the Polish Cup last time out. Prior to that match, the Cracovia Kraków manager M. Probierz faced defeat when travelling to Gornik Zabrze and losing 2-3.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Cracovia Kraków have scored 14 goals in 13 league games away. Cracovia Kraków have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.
