Gornik Zabrze
- Gornik Zabrze are the Ekstraklasa 2025/2026’s surprise package, sitting top of the table on 22 points from 11 matches.
- A clash of footballing philosophies takes place on Saturday when the Ekstraklasa 2025/2026’s current league leader KS Gornik Zabrze play at fourth-placed SSA Korona Kolporter Kielce in what looks set to be a close match, with our SSA Korona Kolporter Kielce vs KS Gornik Zabrze betting tips highlighting just how evenly matched these teams are.
- Michal Gasparik has introduced a much more modern, progressive and width-focused way of playing football since taking over the helm at Gornik in July 2025, which has taken his team to the summit of the Ekstraklasa 2025/2026.
- Gornik can stretch teams wide and use flexible formations to stretch defences, while their structured pressing game can be as intense as they wish to be on any given day.
- Gornik’s last 5 results have been 4 wins and 1 draw, including a 3-0 win in the Puchar Polski away to Legia Warsaw II before beating them 3-1 at home in the league.
Korona Kielce
- Korona Kielce are also in the top four on 18 points from 11 games, so this will be a real battle of early-season supremacy.
- Jacek Zielinski, by contrast, has employed a far more pragmatic approach with Korona since he took over in August 2024.
- They tend to play in tight, compact shapes and have a double pivot at the heart of their midfield to ensure they’re never caught out centrally.
- With this in mind, we should expect a chess match this weekend and a low-scoring game that both teams will have to dig for, as suggested by the SSA Korona Kolporter Kielce vs KS Gornik Zabrze betting tips.
- Korona’s recent games haven’t been full of goals anyway with 3 wins, 1 draw and just 1 defeat from their last 5.
- Back-to-back wins at Kolporter Arena make Korona Kielce’s home record in Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 a perfect 4 from 5 with 0.40 goals per game conceded.
- They thrashed Lechia Gdansk 3-0 at home two weeks ago, but then lost 3-1 to Jagiellonia Bialystok SSA away nine days ago.
Head-to-Head
Gornik have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 games against Korona, with Korona failing to win either of the last two in Kielce. The SSA Korona Kolporter Kielce vs KS Gornik Zabrze prediction suggests another tight contest might be on the cards.
Key Players
- Ousmane Sow is Gornik’s main man up front and he has hit 6 in 9 for the club in the league, 4 of which have come in the past 8 games.
- Dawid Blanik, Korona’s chief striker, has 5 in 11.
- Wiktor Dlugosz has added 2 goals to his account in Korona’s last 5 outings.
Betting Insights
Given both sides are in strong form, this looks a hard game to call and we will not be supporting either side here at 2.65 apiece, with the odds on the game ending in a draw at 3.15 .
Prediction
We will go with the under 2.5 goals market at 1.7 in what will probably be a cagey, tactical affair.
