Raków (home)
- Raków are in the top-half of the table and close to European qualification places on 30-31 points from 20-21 games, while Termalica are in 18th place on 20-21 points.
- Raków are a full-field, wide and deep team that plays at a high tempo with their 3-4-2-1 system providing plenty of width and numbers in behind the opposition defence.
Termalica (away)
- Marcin Brosz’s team have been scrapping for survival since their boss took charge in 2024 and will provide a stern test in what should be an open, end-to-end contest.
- Termalica are in 18th place on 20-21 points.
- Termalica have been much more positive in recent weeks, mixing narrow wins and draws with a couple of defeats.
- There is no doubt that Termalica are much more organised and tough to break down since Brosz took charge, although they are still good on the counter attack and have been more effective in front of goal than they were at the start of the campaign.
Head-to-Head
Raków Czestochowa have dominated Termalica BB Nieciecza in recent years, winning seven of the last eight meetings between the clubs.
Home
- Jonatan Braut Brunes is their main goal scorer with a double-digit return in the league and he is the target man for the long through balls and quick transitions that Raków can create.
- Michael Ameyaw adds pace and creativity to the team from wide areas, while the midfield and defence are well-balanced with no real weak links.
Away
- Krzysztof Kubica and Maciej Ambrosiewicz have been two key midfielders for Termalica since Brosz’s appointment, both being regulars in the match-day programmes because of their ability to win the ball and create chances for their team when they have been on the front foot.
- Jesús Jiménez has scored three to five league goals this season, but has been a decisive goal scorer in several of their recent positive results.
