Will Mielec remain undefeated in the third game of the season?

FKS Stal Mielec returned to the Polish House of Lords after more than two decades. In between you even had to take the bitter step into the third class. Dariusz Skrzypczak’s team survived the first two games of the season unscathed. The coach only came to the club in the summer after promotion. Stal was able to prevail in the cup against Karpaty Krosno from the 4th division. At the start of the Ekstraklasa, the white and blue buttoned as outsiders away from Wisla Plock a 1: 1. Now the southern Poles are in the role of the underdog in the first home game of the new season against Gornik Zabrze. Mielec has not been able to win against this opponent for 25 years. This was the only home win in 5 attempts over Gornik with 4 bankruptcies.

11 wins in 17 home games

Stal Mielec rose with 21 wins from 34 league games with 4 draws and 9 defeats in the first Polish league. The club from the Subcarpathian region was thus champions of the 2nd league with a 2 point lead, 7 points ahead of the third. The two-time champion (most recently in 1976) won 11 of the last 17 home games, only had to admit defeat twice in front of their own audience and played four times. But it won’t be so easy one league higher. The team conceded an average of 0.76 goals per home appearance and scored an average of 1.65 goals at the front. The newcomer will not be able to stand so compactly in the Ekstraklasa, so few goals they will not be able to allow during the season. But it definitely shows the direction in which the journey could go. Stal will be more defensive in the top Polish league and will make life difficult for the opponents. You will see that in the first home game against Gornik and therefore we suspect that there will be fewer goals. That the team has a certain class, it shows in the preseason with the quarter-finals in the Polish Cup.

The trainer

Dariusz Skrzypczak only joined the newly promoted Stal Mielec in the summer. The club separated from promotion coach Dariusz Marzec after the end of the season.

The supervisor was previously the assistant coach of Dariusz Zuraw (42 games) at Lech Posen. Before that he worked in Switzerland for Solothurn, Black Stars and Wangen in the 3rd division, and was assistant to Lucerne. The 52-year-old ended his active career in the Swiss Confederation after working at Lech Posen, Aarau, Hochdorf and Langenthal.
