Jagiellonia vs Gornik Zabrze Prediction & Betting Tips

Recent Form: Table-Topping Gornik vs Inconsistent Jagiellonia

Gornik Zabrze arrive in really good league form. Looking at their recent Ekstraklasa games, they've won the majority, including victories over Lech Poznan and Wisla Krakow, with only a defeat to GKS Katowice breaking things up. They've also been juggling European football against sides like Monaco and Fenerbahce, and still kept winning domestically, which says something about squad depth.

Jagiellonia's recent record is patchier. They've lost their last two league outings, at home to Legia Warszawa and away at Wisla Krakow, and results have swung between wins and losses before that. There was a big 5-2 away win at Raków Częstochowa mixed in, so the quality is there at times, but consistency hasn't been.

Gornik look the more settled, reliable side heading into this one.
