Cracovia Krakow
- Cracovia Krakow can be a real handful when they have the ball and Luka Elsner’s men will certainly get it a lot against a Pogon Szczecin team that traditionally plays in a possession-first style.
- The visitors like to press and are able to transition into attack quickly when they win the ball high up the field, which happens a lot as they are a very disciplined team defensively.
- Cracovia’s away record in Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 is two wins, one draw and two losses and they concede an average of 1.60 away goals per game.
