The hosts’ defense will be under pressure again: prediction for Wisła Kraków vs Wisła Płock
Wisła Kraków are playing on the front foot and have already netted five goals in two rounds, but have conceded just as many. Their home status makes them favorites, yet their open style could offer the visitors plenty of chances for quick counterattacks.
Wisła Płock look more balanced and, after their win over Raków, have proven they can perform effectively away from home. Given the hosts’ prolific start and the two head-to-head matches last season - both finishing 3-1 - this encounter promises to be rich in goals.
