Context

Rakow Czestochowa are 18th in the Ekstraklasa with 0 points from 4 matches, scoring 5 and conceding 11.
They have lost every league game this season, including a 5-2 home defeat to Jagiellonia on 30 August. That run leaves them four points below the relegation line and under immediate pressure to get a result. Gornik Zabrze are fifth with 9 points, so Rakow face a difficult opponent while trying to end their losing streak.
- Rakow are 18th with 0 points from 4 matches, scoring 5 and conceding 11.
- They lost 5-2 at home to Jagiellonia on 30 August.
- They have lost all four league matches this season.
Gornik Zabrze are 5th in the Ekstraklasa with 9 points from 4 matches, scoring 9 and conceding 6.
They have won three of four league games, including a 3-1 away win at Radomiak Radom on 8 August. Their only league defeat came at home to GKS Katowice on 30 August, but they remain in the play-off places. Against a struggling Rakow side, that away form gives them a clear platform to push for another win.
- Gornik are 5th with 9 points from 4 matches.
- They won 3-1 away at Radomiak Radom on 8 August.
- They lost 2-3 at home to GKS Katowice on 30 August.
The last two meetings between these teams were both won by Gornik Zabrze.
Gornik won 2-0 at home in the Cup on 2 May 2026 and 3-1 at home in the league on 15 March 2026. Those results give them a recent edge in head-to-head form, though both wins came at their own stadium. Rakow will need to reverse that trend at home, where they have not beaten Gornik since September 2025.
- Gornik won 2-0 at home in the Cup on 2 May 2026.
- Gornik won 3-1 at home in the league on 15 March 2026.
- Rakow won 1-0 at home in the league on 15 September 2025.
Raków winger M. Ameyaw was left out of the Jagiellonia squad by a sporting decision, with Jakub Jendryka taking his place. He started 4 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.
His availability against Górnik is unresolved, so Raków's wide-attacking structure may change again. The uncertainty is limited to selection because the omission was not health-related.
- Raków spokesman Damian Markowski said Ameyaw's omission from the 30 August squad was a coaching-staff sporting decision.
- The report states that the omission was not caused by a health problem.
- Jakub Jendryka took Ameyaw's place against Jagiellonia.
- M. Ameyaw started 4 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.
