The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ekstraklasa this season. Wisła Kraków have only managed 4 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses from their games here at Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Kraków with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Stal Mielec game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
