Śląsk Wrocław form and stats

The story so far in the Ekstraklasa for Śląsk Wrocław, who have the fewest points (17) at home in Ekstraklasa, at their home stadium is 3 wins, 8 draws and 5 defeats. With eight home Ekstraklasa games in a row without a win, the Śląsk Wrocław fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Stal Mielec game long ago, can be stopped today.

Wrocław drew their last game, 1-1 away at Stal Mielec (placed 13th). The match result 1-1 has happened to the home team three league matches in a row! Jastrzembski (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.3/10. Jastrzembski served one assist and hit two key passes.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Pogon Szczecin that ended 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Śląsk Wrocław perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Śląsk Wrocław as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Śląsk Wrocław has won 2 of these, drawn 5 and lost 0.
