General match analysis

Górnik Zabrze sit higher in the table, in 6th place compared with Cracovia’s 10th, and have won 100% of their away matches so far. The visitors average 3 goals per away game with an xG of 2.24, while Cracovia score an average of 1.67 goals at home despite a high xG of 2.19. Górnik are more clinical in front of goal, converting 14% of their shots into goals compared with the hosts’ 8%, despite a similar number of attempts per match: 21 and 20.33, respectively. The main argument against the visitors is their poor recent form, having lost 3 of their last 5 matches and conceded as many as 12 goals during that period. However, Cracovia have also lost 2 of their last 5 games and have failed to keep a clean sheet in any home match. An open game with chances at both ends is expected, but the greater quality of Górnik’s away attack points to a narrow victory for the visitors.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The signal for both teams to score is very strong: this season, both Cracovia and Górnik have recorded BTTS in 100% of their matches, and neither team has kept a clean sheet yet. Cracovia average 2.0 goals at home, while Górnik score 3.0 goals away, with average goals conceded of 1.67 and 1.0 respectively. Their attacking potential is further supported by xG figures of 1.71 for the hosts and 2.24 for the visitors, along with an average of 5.0 and 6.0 shots on target. In their last five matches, Górnik conceded as many as 2.4 goals per game and recorded BTTS in 100% of their appearances, while Cracovia saw this outcome in 60% of their matches. Despite Cracovia's slightly weaker recent finishing, their xG across the last five games stands at a high 2.15, making it more likely that both sides will get on the scoresheet.

Over/Under - goals analysis

Both teams have surpassed the 1.5-goal line in every match so far this season, while the league average stands at a high 3.0 goals per game. Górnik average 3.0 goals, while Cracovia average 2.0, and neither side has kept a clean sheet yet. In their last five matches, Górnik conceded as many as 2.4 goals per game, while Cracovia produced an xG of 2.15 during that period, clearly supporting the hosts’ attacking potential. The visitors average 21.0 shots and 6.0 shots on target, compared with Cracovia’s 13.33 and 5.0, respectively, so they should also create chances regularly. The strongest signal is Over 1.5 goals: both the season data and the lack of clean sheets on either side give this line a clear edge.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Cracovia victory at the final whistle, as the hosts were level at the break in 80% of their last five matches and scored only 0.2 goals before half-time in those games. Górnik have greater attacking potential, with an average xG of 2.24 compared with Cracovia’s 1.71, as well as 21 shots per match versus 13.33. However, their recent form is clearly weaker: they lost 60% of their last five matches and conceded an average of 2.4 goals. After the break, Cracovia score an average of 1.67 goals at home, while Górnik concede 1.0 goals away from home and as many as 1.6 goals in second halves across their last five appearances. Both teams have scored in 100% of their matches this season, so a closely contested start could develop into an open finish, where the hosts’ second-half advantage gives them a better chance of winning.
