Rakow will return to their home surroundings of the Miejski Stadion Piłkarski Raków w Częstochowie in search of picking up a third consecutive league win in the Polish top flight when they play host to Korona Kielce on Friday evening.
A 2-1 win away from home at Lechia Gdansk last time out in the Ekstraklasa was preceded by a comprehensive 4-1 home win over Cracovia and these two recent victories have helped Dawid Kroczek’s side up into 5th place in the domestic top flight table ahead of this weekend’s action.
The wider picture shows Rakow have been dealt just two defeats in their last 11 matches overall in the Ekstraklasa and includes collecting previous victories at the expense of Pogon and BB Termalica respectively while also holding a home record of 6-4-4 18/14.
Korona Kielce occupy a lowly 12th place in the Polish top flight table with only three points separating the visitors from the relegation zone ahead of this tough looking trip to face high-flying Rakow on Friday evening.
Korona were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Piast Gliwice last time out in the Ekstraklasa, making it now five league matches without a win for the visitors who are in danger of becoming embroiled in a relegation battle.
Despite picking up points in draws with GKS Katowice and Jagiellonia as well, recent losses at the hands of Gornik Zabrze and Lechia Gdansk in 1-0 and 4-2 losses, both of which were away from home, suggests Jacek Zielinski’s are likely to struggle against Rakow.
An away record of 4-4-7 16/20 further underlines Korona’s struggles on their travels.
The Betting Verdict
Rakow have won two of the last three meetings at home against Korona Kielce.
The Pick :
Rakow 2-1 Korona Kielce
