National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Arka Gdynia or Piast Gliwice that keep their silverware dream alive.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Ekstraklasa game only four days ago. That game, against Wisla Plock, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Piast Gliwice.
Arka Gdynia form and stats
Last season, Gdynia's Polish Cup journey ended in the 1st round.When playing at home in the 1. Liga, Arka Gdynia have managed 5 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 10 games. On the other hand, in the Polish Cup, Arka Gdynia has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses.
Arka Gdynia faced defeat in their previous match, away at Tychy 71 (0-1). Before that match, a 1. Liga win away at Miedz Legnica.
The penalty miss from Ł. Wolsztyński in the defeat against Tychy 71 was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Gdynia, as the 1. Liga home game vs Odra Opole is only four days away.
Gdynia has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Gdynia are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadion Miejski in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 10 matches.
Piast Gliwice form and stats
Last season their Polish Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.The story so far for the visiting team on their Ekstraklasa travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. When we have look at the Polish Cup statistics, we find 3W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Cracovia Krakow game have they lost an away game, meaning Gliwice has taken points from eight away matches in a row.
Gliwice have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Frantisek Plach. It's been 352 minutes since they last conceded in Ekstraklasa.
Two travels in a row for Gliwice, whose manager W. Fornalik could celebrate last time after the Ekstraklasa win against Wisla Plock. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Cracovia Krakow.
