Wisła Kraków form and stats

Wisła Kraków have collected 16 points from their Ekstraklasa home games so far after 4-4-5. Three draws in a row here at Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana for Kraków, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

The spoils were shared in Wisła Kraków's previous game, also at home. Visiting Piast Gliwice (placed 7th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. The attacking player Fernández was declared "man of the match" for Wisła Kraków with a rating of 7.83/10. Fernández hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Prior to that, an away loss at Pogoń Szczecin.

This is expected to be a close game, with Wisła Kraków perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Wisła Kraków as a small favourite), we find seven games. Wisła Kraków has won one of these, drawn one and lost five.

Kraków has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. Wisła Kraków have conceded 15 in these home matches.

Górnik Zabrze form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Ekstraklasa travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. Górnik Zabrze seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There might be some fixture complaints from Górnik as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 2-3 against Wisła Płock. The attacker Podolski got a match rating of 8.23 in that game. Podolski scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Warta Poznan wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Górnik Zabrze in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Górnik Zabrze, six draws and four defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Górnik have scored 17 goals in 13 league games away. Górnik Zabrze's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
