Stal Mielec form and stats

2-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Ekstraklasa numbers at home for Stal Mielec, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Ekstraklasa, so far this season. Mielec have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

No payout for Mielec in their previous match, an away game at Gornik Zabrze that ended in defeat 1-2. In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Legia Warszawa.

The defeat against Gornik Zabrze was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by P. Krawczyk). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Maciej Domański for missing a penalty kick versus Gornik Zabrze in the 28th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Mielec are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 7 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
