Raków
In contrast to GKS, Raków are coming into this game on the back of a two-match losing run, so the pressure is building fast for Czerwono-Niebiescy , who need to hit back with a solid performance in front of their own fans.
GKS Katowice
GieKSa have three wins in their last five, but their most recent outing was a 2-1 defeat away to Zaglebie Lubin , so there is plenty of hope for the hosts to snag a result.
Head-to-Head
- This will be a matchup over tempo and the second balls as two high-pressing, transition-orientated teams meet.
- Rafał Górak's side play a vertical, high-pressing game that likes to flood wide when they win the ball back and spring forward in numbers.
- Tomasz Kaczmarek's Raków play a similar game, but are more focused on dominating duels, winning territory and breaking opponents apart tactically.
- Górak's men are the more trigger-happy and intense pressers, while Kaczmarek's men will look to control the tempo and structure of the game with a more proactive and dominant philosophy.
- Raków are slight favourites at 2.15, but we feel the value lies with GKS at 2.92 or the draw at 3.85 in what looks like a pretty live game.
- Although Raków have lost four of their last five matches, they did win their home game during that spell 2-1 against Motor Lublin and their two defeats in that run were both by one goal.

GKS's Ilya Shkurin has bagged six times in eight Ekstraklasa 2026/2027 games and five of the team's last 12 goals, while Patryk Makuch has been in the goals for Czerwono-Niebiescy with five in nine .
