Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Korona Kielce & Górnik Łęczna face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Polish Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Korona Kielce form and stats
Last season their Polish Cup adventure ended in the 16th finals.5-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the 1. Liga numbers at home for Korona Kielce so far this season.
Korona faced defeat in their previous match, away at Puszcza Niepoomice (2-5). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Preceding that match was the home 1. Liga game against Tychy 71 that was lost 0-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Korona Kielce perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Korona Kielce as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Korona has won four of these, drawn three and lost five.
Korona are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. Korona have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Górnik Łęczna form and stats
Górnik's mission in Polish Cup last season failed in the 8th finals.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Górnik Łęczna so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose).
Górnik's previous game was their home loss versus Gornik Zabrze (1-2). Midfielder Janusz Gol was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.02. Gol scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Ahead of that match was the Ekstraklasa away draw versus Nieciecza that ended 1-1.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Górnik playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were three Górnik Łęczna wins, six draws and six defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Górnik Łęczna manager K. Kieres as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Jagiellonia Biaystok.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Górnik Łęczna manager K. Kieres has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
