Raków Częstochowa return to league action following a friendly victory as they prepare to host GKS Katowice on Friday. The Ekstraklasa round 10 match kicks off at 20:30 on October 9th at the Miejski Stadion Piłkarski Raków.
Their league form, however, has been a struggle, with the team sitting in 18th place with just three points from nine matches. Their last five league outings have yielded two wins and three defeats, including losses to Lech Poznań, Zagłębie Lubin, and Korona Kielce.
The team's form has been inconsistent, but the last friendly provided reasons for optimism. In the 4-1 win over Polonia Bytom, goals came from Ádám Molnár, a brace from Bogdan Mircetic, and Niklas Zetterström. Up front, Patryk Makuch remains a key figure, having scored five times in nine appearances this season.
The visitors from Katowice are positioned 9th in the table. The last meeting between the sides, on July 16th, ended in a 1-1 draw. GKS beat Cracovia 3-2 at home in their last league match but lost to Zagłębie Lubin before that. Raków will need to be wary of their counter-attacks.
This match is key for the hosts in their battle to move away from the relegation zone. A win could provide the momentum needed to climb the standings.
