National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Śląsk Wrocław or Nieciecza that keep their silverware dream alive.
This should be an interesting match with lots of fun and bustle as both teams are well revitalized since they last ran out on the pitch. Game on!
Śląsk Wrocław form and stats
Wrocław participated in Polish Cup the last season, where they reached the 1st round.1-3-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Ekstraklasa numbers at home for Śląsk Wrocław so far this season. Wrocław haven’t lost a league-game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Rakow Czestochowa, 153 days ago.
The home team returns to Stadion Oporowska after being equal after 90 minutes with Radomiak Radom on their last time out; the Ekstraklasa game ended 1-1. Attacking player Erik Expósito outdid all the other players in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.44 out of 10. Expósito scored one goal and dribled passed the opponent 3 of 3 times.
Previous to that game, a Ekstraklasa home match hosting Legia Warszawa in a game that was won 1-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Śląsk Wrocław have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won five times, drawn six and lost three.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ekstraklasa game versus Wisła Płock in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadion Oporowska.
Wrocław are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Wrocław are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadion Oporowska in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.
Nieciecza form and stats
They also participated in Polish Cup last season. This ended in the 16th finals.Still no away game victory in the Ekstraklasa for Nieciecza with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Nieciecza, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Tychy 71 game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Two away games in a row for Nieciecza, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Zagebie Lubin in the Ekstraklasa. Piotr Wlazło got a match rating of 9.24 in that game, top player of the team. Wlazło scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 55 successful passes (of 66 total).
Before that, Nieciecza travelled to Warta Poznan and returned home with a draw after the Ekstraklasa game finished 0-0.We have checked recent matches where Nieciecza have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were one victory, zero draws and three defeats.
After this away game Nieciecza return home for a Ekstraklasa game against Gornik Zabrze. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Goals are few and far between in Nieciecza's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. As opposed to that, Nieciecza have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
