Warta Poznań form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ekstraklasa this season. Warta Poznań have only managed 0 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stadion przy Drodze Dębińskiej. With nine home Ekstraklasa games in a row without a win, the Poznań fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Pogon Szczecin game long ago, can be stopped today.

The spoils were shared in Poznań's previous game, also at home. Visiting Wisa Krakow (placed 13th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Defender Robert Ivanov got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.1/10. Ivanov served one assist, hit one key pass and won 7 of 9 duels.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Lech Poznan.

Wrocław lost away at Gornik Zabrze (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
