Strugglers do battle on Monday
Our Piast Gliwice vs Arka Gdynia prediction focuses on a crucial relegation battle, as Piast Gliwice sit 15th in the Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 table on 36 points from 29 games, two ahead of Arka Gdynia who are in 16th on 34 points. Both teams need points in their battle for survival and this clash of styles will be a good test for two managers who are trying to get the most out of their limited resources.
Daniel Mysliwiec has done a fine job at Piast since taking over in October 2025, steering his team towards a control possession-based structure and using their best players to good effect. Gliwice will try to build from the back, be patient with the ball and press high when they can, but they sometimes lack penetration in the final third.
In this Piast Gliwice vs Arka Gdynia preview, Arka, on the other hand, are much more comfortable within a compact defensive block and trying to take the ball at speed when they win it back. They are not as fluid in the attacking half and look to get players forward quickly to exploit space on the break. They have been very organized and solid since Dariusz Banasik took over in April 2026.
Piast have more to like on home turf
Form-wise, Piast are no better or worse than Arka as Piast have two wins, one draw and two losses in their last five, but the Piast Gliwice vs Arka Gdynia prediction still slightly favors the hosts, given that Piast have a much better record on their home turf than Arka have on their travels.
Gliwice have won five, drawn three and lost six at home in Ekstraklasa 2025/2026, while Arka have won only one, drawn two and lost 11 of their 14 away games in the same competition.
In the last two meetings between the sides in the current campaign, both teams have won once, with Arka taking the most recent meeting 2-1 at home six months ago.
Home side can edge a win
This Piast Gliwice vs Arka Gdynia prediction points to the best bet in this game being the home side to win at 1.77 as Arka have been very poor away from home all season. There is likely to be several goals in this as both sides need a win and Piast are generally much better at home than their opponents.
For those looking for Piast Gliwice vs Arka Gdynia betting tips, Over 2.5 goals in the match is available at 1.96, which looks a bit too short considering the average goals scored in Arka’s away matches in the league has been 0.57 and they have a miserable 7% win ratio on their travels. Both sides have been in decent goalscoring form recently, so the stats suggest Arka will not get the better of their hosts even if they can find the net.
German Barkovsky is Piast’s most dangerous player with four goals in 26 appearances and Oskar Kubiak has been Arka’s best source of goals recently with two of their last five goals. Eduardo Espiau has five in 24 league games and looks the best player on paper for the visitors.
Both Teams to Score - No is priced at 1.86 and should also be avoided, but their record on the road is not good enough to suggest they can net more than once in Gliwice.
