Górnik Zabrze form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of Górnik Zabrze playing as the away team in the Ekstraklasa this season.

Górnik Zabrze might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Zagebie Lubin proved too strong as Górnik Zabrze slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Arena Zabrze. That loss was their first after five consecutive league rounds winning points. Górnik Zabrze had apparently made the football gods angry before the game against Zagebie Lubin, losing the match after hitting the woodwork three times. The attacker Dadok got a match rating of 8.43 in that game. Dadok scored two goals, hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Korona Kielce with the score of 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Górnik playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 5 Górnik Zabrze wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats.
