Wisła Kraków form and stats

4 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats. That’s what Wisła Kraków have to build on here at Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana in the Ekstraklasa. When Wisła Kraków hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Wisła Kraków, Warta Poznan, Nieciecza, Zagebie Lubin and Legia Warszawa), they have won 3 of 3 matches!

Stress levels are on the rise for Wisła Kraków's attacking players as they have now played 223 minutes without scoring in a league game. Skvarka was their last goal scorer.

The Wisła Kraków supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana: A 0-1 defeat against Stal Mielec (placed 7th).

Prior to that, an away loss at Rakow Czestochowa.

The manager Guľa will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Legia Warszawa in only four days.

Wisła Kraków are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 10 games. 12 goals have been conceded.

Górnik Łęczna form and stats

There's been little loot from Górnik Łęczna's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the Ekstraklasa. Górnik Łęczna only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.

Górnik delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Slask Wrocaw (placed 12th) in their previous match.

Before that, Górnik Łęczna travelled to Warta Poznan and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Górnik playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, two draws and one home win.

Górnik Łęczna struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 18 goals conceded from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
