Lechia Gdańsk form and stats

Seven points from three Ekstraklasa home games is a great start for Lechia Gdańsk, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stadion Energa Gdańsk.

Lechia drew their last game, 2-2 away at Wisła Kraków (placed 3rd). A disappointing finish for Lechia in their match versus Wisła Kraków as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Lech Poznań (0-2).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lechia Gdańsk have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won seven, drawn three and lost three.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lechia Gdańsk as they are travelling to their away game against Jagiellonia Biaystok in the Polish Cup. That match is three days after this one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Lechia's attacking play is working. Lechia Gdańsk have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Piast Gliwice form and stats

It's gone fairly well in the Ekstraklasa away games so far for Piast Gliwice with six points collected from three matches.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ekstraklasa home defeat versus Zagłębie Lubin with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Late heartbreak for Gliwice in the Zagłębie Lubin match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Gornik Zabrze at their stadium, the result 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Piast Gliwice playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Gliwice wins, two draws and five defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Piast Gliwice now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Polish Cup game at Wloclavia Wloclawek is waiting in only four days.

Gliwice find the net regularly in their away games. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. Piast Gliwice are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.

Head 2 Head

Previous ten meetings between these contenders: Lechia Gdańsk won six, Piast Gliwice triumphed in two and we saw two draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.
