Stal Mielec form and stats

Mielec 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, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of two matches.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Stal Mielec have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from seven fixtures.

A job perfectly done for Mielec last season as they secured promotion from 1. Liga. With a grand total of 21 wins, 4 draws and 9 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 10 were in away matches.
