Wisła Kraków form and stats

Kraków's mission in Polish Cup last season failed in the 1st round.

Wisła Kraków have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Ekstraklasa, after 2-1-5 (8 played). Kraków has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Kraków's previous game was their home loss versus Radomiak Radom (0-1). Ashraf El Mahdioui got a match rating of 7.72 in that game, top player of the team. Mahdioui hit four key passes and had 88 successful passes (of 96 total).

Prior to that match, the Kraków manager A. Guľa faced defeat when travelling to Jagiellonia Biaystok and losing 1-3.

The schedule is very tough for Kraków now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ekstraklasa game at Warta Poznan is waiting in only four days.

Kraków are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 8 games (in the league). The Kraków manager A. Guľa has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - one - eight (Widzew wins - draws - Wisła Kraków wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
