Wisła Kraków form and stats

3-1-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Ekstraklasa numbers at home for Wisła Kraków so far this season. When Wisła Kraków hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Wisła Kraków, Warta Poznan, Zagebie Lubin, Gornik eczna and Legia Warszawa), they have won 2 of 2 matches!

The fans are hoping that Kraków will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Ekstraklasa game against Zagebie Lubin (placed 13th). Midfielder Ashraf El Mahdioui was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.82 (out of ten) in that game. Mahdioui hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 41 successful passes (of 50 total).

1-1 away at Warta Poznan before that.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kraków have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost three.

Kraków has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Kraków's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Nieciecza form and stats

There's been little loot from Nieciecza's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 8 away games in the Ekstraklasa. Nieciecza only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Nieciecza play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Stal Mielec (placed 6th). Artem Putivtsev, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.43. Putivtsev hit one key pass and won 6 of 9 duels.

A loss against Pogon Szczecin was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Nieciecza are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and three defeats. From a total of six matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nieciecza as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. 11 goals have been conceded by Nieciecza in these games.

Head 2 Head
