Where it pulls both ways. GKS Katowice are the form side, but the meetings favour Rakow Czestochowa: in the last six meetings, Rakow Czestochowa won five and GKS Katowice won one. On goals, their goals for and against point to an open game; their records put over 2.5 goals at 75%; four of the last six meetings went under 2.5.

The case against. Not everything agrees on goals: four of the last six meetings went under 2.5.

The read. No side to back. An open game. Form and the meetings point different ways, so I back neither side. Their goals for and against point to an open game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 75%.

The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: GKS Katowice or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read); GKS Katowice or Over 1.5 Goals (no result call). Predicted score: Rakow Czestochowa 1-2 GKS Katowice (8% chance).
