GKS Dospel Katowice
- GKS Dospel Katowice are 11th-placed and have amassed 26 points from 19 games of the Ekstraklasa 2025-2026 season, six more than their visitors.
- Rafal Gorak, who has overseen the development of the hosts since taking over in 2019, has instilled a sense of tactical discipline in his players, with the players remaining compact and organised while waiting to pounce on counterattacks.
- GKS Dospel Katowice have lost just one of their last five matches in all competitions (W3, D1, L1).
KP Legia Warszawa
- KP Legia Warszawa are in poor form, having won just one of their last five games (W1, D1, L3).
- 16th-placed KP Legia Warszawa have 20 points from 20 matches.
- Legia’s new boss, Edward Iordănescu, has made his mark at the club since taking charge in June 2025, and his team are already playing with much more structure and purpose, especially in possession and with their pressing.
- With just 16 goals conceded in their 10 away league games, Legia have only won one of those matches, drawing four and losing five, and have failed to win in their last two away outings, managing only a draw and a defeat.
Head-to-Head
- Legia have won each of the last three meetings between these two sides, most recently beating Katowice 3-1 at home in the Ekstraklasa 2025-2026 six months ago.
- GKS Dospel Katowice have never defeated KP Legia Warszawa in Katowice.
Key Players
- Mileta Rajovic has been Legia’s top-scorer in the Polish league this term with three goals in 19 games.
- Antonio-Mirko Colak has bagged three of his team’s eight goals in their last five.
- Bartosz Nowak is Katowice’s danger man and his contribution to their resurgent form of late has been particularly important, having scored six goals in 19 league appearances, and he has also scored twice in their last five.
Betting Insights
- Priced at 2.14, Legia are a good bet against a team that have never beaten them in Katowice, although the hosts are a decent price themselves at 3.35 with a 3.3 chance of a draw.
- Both teams to score in this game will be priced around 2.0 and under 2.5 goals is as short as 1.83, which probably wouldn’t be the worst bet given that GKS Dospel like to sit back and frustrate their opponents.
Prediction
- A game of chess is likely to unfold between two tactical teams on Friday, with Legia looking to break down a compact block with patient probing and fluid attacking shapes.
- With Legia’s away record and a tendency from Katowice to frustrate bigger sides at home, the draw or the visitors are sensible options.
