Polonia Bytom - Korona Kielce

This game between Polonia Bytom and Korona Kielce is rather not very interesting for average fan of Polish league, but I see in this one really good bet on guests, who are just much, much better than rivals. Polonia Bytom is a biggest surprise in our first league for a while as they hadn't got money, quality rooster, but still they advanced there and playing quite effective football because now they are on fourteenth place with eighteen points, which is above relegation zone, so they are happy with it. They didn't buy anyone who can be on Ekstraklasa level, all players are just weak and I don't see them on first league pitches. Overall their rooster is really short and poor, with only few quality players like Marcin Radzewicz, Rafał Grzyb, Walerij Sokolenko or Michał Zieliński, as rest of the team is inexperience. In this round they managed to grab four points, which is big number for them, but win against poor Zagłębie Sosnowiec (1-0) and draw with unstable Cracovia (1-1) isn't their huge success, especially that in last game, against solid Groclin (0-5) they lost with really pathetic performance. On the other hand Korona Kielce have big ambitious, but nowadays they are out of form, so they just must start winning as eurocups could gone with ease this season. At the moment they are on fifth place with thirty three points and need a win like an air as second Groclin (41 pts) and third Legia (40 pts) are few points above them. Guests have great squad with few stars like Grzegorz Bonin, Wojciech Kowalewski, Edi Andradina and Marcin Kaczmarek, so I can't see them losing this one, even away from home, without good form. Of course their last two games – against Ruch Chorzów (0-2) and Odra Wodzisław (0-1) were bad for them, but with Wisła Kraków (1-1) they played good football and I expect the same in this one as coach Jacek Zieliński is in big danger. In first meeting between those two, Korona won with ease (4-0) so in this one I doubt that they won't grab even one point. They are one class above Polonia and should prove it on pitch, winning this one, being also closer to UEFA or Intertoto.
