Piast Gliwice
- Daniel Mysliwiec took over Piast in October 2025 and has done a reasonable job of guiding a youth-focused project which has shown enough grit and quality to finish 13th in the Ekstraklasa 2025-2026 with 29 points from the first 23 matches.
- Piast are solid at home, where they have won four, drawn three and lost four of their 11 league matches, conceding 0.91 goals per game.
- Piast are a possession-based side who like to play structured soccer and have the ability to rotate between a 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 system, depending on the game.
Zaglebie Lubin SSA
- Zaglebie Lubin SSA are currently the form favorites to win in Gliwice, with three wins, one draw, and just one loss in their last five league outings.
- Zaglebie Lubin SSA have won their last two away games and are on a two-match winning streak.
- Zaglebie SSA’s system is a mirror of Piast’s, but the former tend to play a much more direct, fast-paced style, one that has seen them rise to second in the standings with 38 points from their first 23 matches.
- Leszek Ojrzynski has instilled a high-intensity style of play since taking the reins in March 2025 and the results have followed.
- They are a relatively low-scoring side, with Michail Kosidis their top marksman with just five goals in 23 Ekstraklasa appearances, but Mateusz Grzybek has been in excellent form lately, scoring three of their last five.

Betting Insights
Zaglebie are the form team and there is a massive discrepancy between the 4.21 odds for them to take all three points in Gliwice and the true likelihood of that happening.
Prediction

- We’re backing Zaglebie to nick this one, given their form and momentum away from home.
