Wisła Kraków form and stats

Wisła Kraków are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Ekstraklasa games here at Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana. Wisła Kraków are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana, having lost their two previous games here.

Chuca was the last player to score a league goal for Kraków and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Wisła Kraków haven't scored in 213 minutes.

The home team returns to Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana after being equal after 90 minutes with Górnik Zabrze (placed 1st) on their last time out; the Ekstraklasa game ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, Wisła Kraków lost 0-3 at home to Wisła Płock.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Kraków have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost three.

At Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana, Wisła Kraków has the goal stats of 1-6 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
