Piast (home)
Piast are in the lower mid-table and will be looking to build under Daniel Myśliwiec ’s more pragmatic approach.
Raków (away)
Raków are in red-hot form and are in the top four , with four wins and a draw from their last five across league and Europe.
Head-to-Head
- Raków Czestochowa have won eight of their last 13 Ekstraklasa head-to-head meetings with Piast Gliwice, who have won four with one draw.
- The margins of victory in the last two clashes between these clubs have been clear cut, with Raków winning 3-0 away in March 2025, but Piast coming back to beat them 3-0 at home exactly one year earlier, which is worth considering for any Rakow Czestochowa vs Piast Gliwice prediction.
Key Players
- Raków
- Jonatan Braut Brunes is a focal point up top and Raków’s best goal threat by some distance, but they are a clinical side that rarely wastes chances.
- Lamine Diaby-Fadiga offers pace and can score goals from the flanks, while creative midfielders like Péter Baráth and Ivi López are experts at switching the play and supplying the attacking outlets with incisive passes.
- Piast
- Piast’s main goal threat is Erik Jirka, a pacey forward who has scored some big goals for them since his summer arrival, but his ability to play the role of focal point remains to be seen.
