Football Bet of the Day: Miners to dig deep for victory

Gornik Zabrze could show their class in the Ekstraklasa today

"Piast have taken just one point from 12 on the road this season"

Back Gornik Zabrze @ 2.6813/8 to beat Piast Gliwice

Gornik Zabrze can make home advantage count in Poland this evening, reckons Tobias Gourlay

Gornik Zabrze v Piast Gliwice
Friday 19:30

In Brazil last night, we suffered our first defeat of the week as Vasco Da Gama and Fortaleza never got going. They drew 0-0 to leave us short on both sides of our BTTS bet.

Today we've come to Poland for the second of this evening's two matches from the top-flight Ekstraklasa. Third-placed Gornik Zabrze lost their last home game to league leaders KS Rakow, but they look capable of bouncing back against Piast Gliwice, who finished third last term but have gone W0-D2-L6 through the first eight rounds of the current campaign.

The hosts are W2-D1-L1 at Ernest Pohl Stadium this season. Going back into the last campaign, the Miners have won 10 of their last 15 matches there.

In contrast, Piast have taken just one point from 12 on the road this season. Across a similar stretch of 15 away matches, they are W3-D2-L10 - despite last term's high finish. They've failed to score in 3/4 away from home this season and, at a healthy odds-against price, we'll back this evening's hosts to leave them with nothing once more.
