This game features two teams that both urgently need points. Wieczysta Kraków sit 16th and Raków Częstochowa sit 18th, just one point apart in the lower zone of the table. In their last match the hosts lost 1-2, while the visitors also lost 1-4 in similar fashion. The hosts have performed to their own standard this season: 2 won, 2 drawn, 6 lost, scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game, but also conceding nearly 2 goals per game. Raków Częstochowa have it much worse, winning only 1 of 10 matches, already conceding 25 goals, an average of 2.5 per game, and in their last five matches they lost by a margin of 1 goal or more in as many as 3 games. A leaky defence is a problem that has dragged on. The pattern of play is likely to see the hosts dominate possession and gradually open up the game, because Raków Częstochowa have faced as many as 6.3 shots on target per game in their last 10 matches, clearly higher than the chances they create themselves (4.6). If the hosts play the ball on the ground and push high up the pitch from the start, this match should end with Wieczysta Kraków taking three points at home. What to watch is how deep Raków Częstochowa will sit in the first half.
