Stal Mielec Preview – Can Stal Mielec make successful return?
Friday evening’s hosts, Stal Mielec, are another side that are making a long-awaited return to the Polish top flight after being last involved in the Ekstraklasa back in 1996, and they made a reasonable start in last weekend’s opening fixture against Wisla Plock, earning a point in a 1-1 draw on the road.
Stal Mielec now return to home turf for this season-opener at their Stadion MOSiR since their triumphant campaign in last season’s 1 Liga which saw the hosts win the second tier title and achieve automatic promotion up to the Ekstraklasa.
Stal Mielec will be depending upon a solid record at home this term in order to consolidate their top flight status and having lost just twice in their last 11 matches in all competitions, they stand a decent chance of doing so. However, goals could be in short supply as three of the previous six meetings against Gornik Zabrze have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Gornik Zabrze Preview – Can Gornik Zabrze make top 8 cut?
Gornik Zabrze narrowly missed out on achieving a top eight finish at the end of last season’s Ekstraklasa season as they finished in 9th place which meant they had to play out the second half of the season in the Relegation Round. However, they avoided any further trouble by finishing top of the group.
Just three defeats from their final 12 matches of the Polish top flight season saw Gornik Zabrze finish the campaign in reasonably strong form, and they’ve made a good start to this new season with a 4-2 home win against newcomers, Podbeskidzie.
However, results away from home still require further attention as the visitors have managed to win just three of their last 18 matches on their travels, while goals have also been in short supply as 11 of Gornik Zabrze’s last 18 away matches have seen under 2.5 goals.
