DLLWLL

Cracovia will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 2-1 Ekstraklasa loss in their previous game against GKS Katowice.

In that game, Cracovia had 49% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Cracovia was Amir Al Ammari (36'). At the other end, GKS Katowice had 12 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Märten Kuusk (2') and Oskar Repka (78') scored for GKS Katowice.

It has not been often in recent times that Cracovia have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Cracovia have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 11 goals during that time. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, of course.
