An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic \"six-pointer\" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 14th place.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Happy days for Raków Częstochowa in their previous game, a Polish Cup match away at Olimpia Elblag that ended with a 4-0 victory. Heartbreak before that as Raków Częstochowa lost 0-2 at KS odz's place.

As mentioned above, Raków Częstochowa "killed" Olimpia Elblag in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Wisła Kraków form and stats

There's been little loot from Wisła Kraków's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 7 away games in the Ekstraklasa. Wisła Kraków, who have the most conceded goals (24)in Ekstraklasa, only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. With the Wisła Kraków losing streak of five 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 Wisła Kraków's last three away games as they have all been lost.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Wisła Kraków, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-7 versus Legia Warszawa (placed 4th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Piast Gliwice.

Wisła Kraków lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-7 beating and focus on this one.

Wisła Kraków are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of eight matches.

The attacking power of Wisła Kraków when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Wisła Kraków are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 4 goals in these matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last three games between these two teams, there's 2 Raków Częstochowa victories, 0 draws and 1 Wisła Kraków win. 2 of these games ended with three goals or more, 1 match with two goals or less.
