Gornik eye top spot while Cracovia seek consistency
Third-placed Gornik Zabrze head to Krakow looking to reclaim the league lead, while Cracovia sit just one point off the European places in a tightly packed mid-table.
Cracovia enter this fixture following a narrow 2-1 defeat to Radomiak Radom, a result that halted the momentum gained from back-to-back victories against Wieczysta Krakow and Rakow Czestochowa. Under the tactical direction of Bartosz Grzelak, the hosts are looking to climb from 11th and bridge the one-point gap to the European qualification spots.
Gornik Zabrze remain firmly in the title race, sitting just one point behind the league leaders. However, they must regroup after a chaotic 3-2 home defeat to GKS Katowice. Prior to that slip-up, Jan Urban’s side had been in imperious form, securing three consecutive wins against Wisla Krakow, Radomiak, and Slask Wroclaw.
