National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Resovia Rzeszów or Widzew Lodz that keep their silverware dream alive.
These are active days for the hosts, as they had a match only three days ago in the 1. Liga. That game was an away game at Podbeskidzie, so at least Resovia are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Resovia Rzeszów form and stats
Last season, Resovia's Polish Cup journey ended in the 1st round.Resovia Rzeszów have played 4 1. Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager R. Mroczkowski led his Resovia to a defeat in the 1. Liga match away at Podbeskidzie. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Stal.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Stomil Olsztyn (2-4).Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the 1. Liga game versus Sandecja Nowy Sącz in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadion Stal.
The lack of attacking qualities in Resovia means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. From these home matches, Resovia Rzeszów have conceded only 3 goals.
Widzew Lodz form and stats
Last season their Polish Cup adventure ended in the 16th finals.The story so far for the visiting team on their 1. Liga travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Visiting Widzew has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
Widzew are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the 1. Liga against SKRA Czestochowa. As mentioned above, Widzew was the only team on the pitch versus SKRA Czestochowa in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
Before that, Widzew travelled to Tychy 71 and returned home with a draw after the 1. Liga game finished 1-1.Widzew have another game away from home in just three sleeps, a 1. Liga fixture vs Puszcza Niepołomice. A gruelling programme for the guests!
