When playing at home in the Ekstraklasa, Piast Gliwice have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 12 games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Stadion Miejski after three straight home wins.

An away draw last time out for Gliwice, facing Lechia Gdansk in a game that ended 2-2. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Gornik Zabrze in a game that was won 2-0.

Opportunity lost for Gliwice in the Lechia Gdansk match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. Tomasz Jodłowiec felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Lechia Gdansk as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 90th minute.
