Polish oldest derby and very tense game on the stands and in the city. But football wise, big quality gap between this team. Wisła is Polish champion and started new season with 3 wins in 3 games, playing not at 100%. Now they beaten Barcelona 1:0 on Wednesday in CL quals, of course it was more like a friendly, meanngless game after Barca won 4:0 in the first game, but surely it's a great morale and confidence boost for Wisła players. As for Cracovia, bad start to the season, two away losses against newcomers and home win over weakest team in the league. They are successfully destroyed by their coach with selling of all players who don't like him and replacing them with wooden guys. Cracovia nowadays plays simply bad football, no creativity at all, no good strikers, very wooden play and they have clown as goalkeeper, who is always capable of making stupid mistake. Comparig this two teams it doesn't look good for Cracovia. Wisła at least tries to play something like European football while Cracovia takes inspiration from German regional league. Even though this is derby, I'm going to back Wsła at odds higher then 1,6. Always in such games there is a risk of a draw, but I hope not this time, when quality difference is quite high.
