Śląsk Wrocław form and stats

The first Ekstraklasa game here at Stadion Miejski resulted in a draw. Last season Śląsk Wrocław's home game statistics were 7 victories, 7 draws and 1 defeat from 15 games.

It's back home for Wrocław, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Cracovia Krakow away with the result 2-1. Robert Pich and Erik Expósito found the net in that victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of J. Magiera when Erik Expósito scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 60th minute.

In the match before that, Śląsk Wrocław hosted Warta Poznan and drew the game 2-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Wrocław have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won five times, drawn six and lost three.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Śląsk Wrocław at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
