Wisła Płock form and stats

When playing at home in the Ekstraklasa, Wisła Płock have managed 6 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 12 games. The last three games played by Wisła Płock, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

The home team returns to Stadion im. Kazimierza Górskiego after being equal after 90 minutes with Wisła Kraków (placed 13th) on their last time out; the Ekstraklasa game ended 2-2. Preceding that game was the away draw at ŁKS Łódź that finished 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Wisła Płock perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

A decent goal production from Wisła Płock in their home games so far, with 19 goals from 12 league matches. On the other hand, Wisła Płock have conceded 14 goals.

Raków Częstochowa form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Raków Częstochowa so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-8 (win-draw-lose). Raków Częstochowa has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The supporters enjoyed Raków Częstochowa's previous game versus Piast Gliwice (placed 7th), a Ekstraklasa 2-0 win played at home. A 2-3 defeat away at Arka Gdynia before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Raków Częstochowa playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were two Raków Częstochowa wins, two draws and seven defeats.

Raków Częstochowa have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 12 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Raków Częstochowa have conceded 23 goals in their away games.
