Górnik Zabrze form and stats

There's been little loot from Górnik Zabrze's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 14 away games in the Ekstraklasa. Górnik Zabrze only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws.

There were no winners in Górnik Zabrze's previous match, a Ekstraklasa home game that ended 2-2 vs Lechia Gdańsk (placed 7th). Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at ŁKS Łódź.

It looked so good for Górnik vs Lechia Gdańsk, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
