GKS Katowice, alongside Lech Poznań, stands as one of the top-scoring teams in the league since Daniel Myśliwiec's appointment at Piast Gliwice. Despite recent improvements, Piast is still chasing the leaders, and their upcoming match against Korona Kielce on 01.05.2026 at 11:30 will be crucial in their fight for Ekstraklasa survival. The Gliwice side, who last defeated Korona in 2018, face a tough challenge.

Korona Kielce did not have to worry about the relegation battle for most of the season, but after four consecutive matches without a win (2 draws, 2 losses), they found themselves dangerously close to the relegation zone. Both losses during this period, however, occurred in away games, meaning the Kielce team will have a chance on Friday to extend their four-match unbeaten run at home (2 wins, 2 draws). Jacek Zieliński's players, as usual, will look for opportunities from set pieces, from which they have scored 21 of their 37 goals (57%) this season.

Piast Gliwice defeated relegation-battling Arka Gdynia 4:1 in a crucial match in the previous round, moving up several positions and extending their lead over the relegation zone to three points. The club's management can be pleased that they appointed Daniel Myśliwiec at the end of October, as since his employment, only Lech Poznań and GKS Katowice (33 points each) have scored more points than Piast (32 points).

After the winter break, matches involving Piast have also been very exciting for neutral fans, as 41 goals have been scored in 13 of their games, which is the highest result this year, tied with Lech Poznań.

The head-to-head history shows that four of the last five Ekstraklasa matches between Korona and Piast ended in a draw. However, in a slightly longer perspective, the Gliwice team clearly dominates, having not lost to Korona for a considerable time.

The upcoming clash will undoubtedly provide plenty of excitement, and the result could significantly impact the situation of both teams in the lower part of the Ekstraklasa table.
