Form Guide — Last 5
Cracovia Krakow
Cracovia's recent five league results include a 2-1 home win over Raków Częstochowa and a 3-2 home victory versus Wieczysta Kraków, showing they can score but also concede. Their most recent loss, 1-2 away at Radomiak Radom, highlights defensive frailties that keep the win probability low for this pick.
Gornik Zabrze
Gornik's form features three consecutive wins – 2-1 at home versus Śląsk Wrocław, 3-1 away at Radomiak Radom, and 2-1 home against Wisła Kraków – before a 2-3 home defeat to GKS Katowice. The three straight victories, each with at least two goals scored, underline the attacking firepower behind the model's win forecast.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Cracovia have won three (5-0 in May 2024, 3-2 in August 2024, and 1-0 in February 2025) while Gornik secured one win (3-0 in April 2026) and there was one draw (1-1 in September 2025). The head‑to‑head record therefore favors Cracovia, but the model still weights Gornik's current form and expected‑goals advantage higher.
