- Piast Gliwice have won one and lost one of their last two home league matches.
- GKS Dospel Katowice have won two, drawn two and lost only one of their last five Ekstraklasa 2025-2026 contests.
- GKS have failed to win any of their last three away games, drawing two and losing one.
Two clubs with different priorities
This Piast Gliwice vs GKS Dospel Katowice preview finds Piast Gliwice tenth in the Ekstraklasa 2025-2026 with 40 points from 31 games, three spots and seven points below GKS Dospel Katowice who are third with the same number of games played.
Piast are a structured, conservative and disciplined team under Daniel Mysliwiec, who took over at the helm in October 2025 and has instilled a game control approach based on compact defending, structured build-up and patience. While it hasn’t been the best recipe for success, it has kept Piast’s heads above water and they will need a result here to stay afloat.
GKS are the complete opposite under Rafal Gorak, who has developed a pro-active, high-pressing game with plenty of wing-back driven width and plenty of transition play. The visitors’ last three games have seen them beat Motor Lublin 3-2 at home, draw 1-1 away to Korona Kielce and thump Termalica BB Nieciecza 5-1 at home, suggesting the club from Katowice are in the right frame of mind for this Silesian derby.
A battle of styles
The battle of organisation versus chaos should make for a intriguing match-up on Sunday with plenty of goals. Our Piast Gliwice vs GKS Dospel Katowice prediction highlights Piast top scorer German Barkovsky, who has four goals in 28 Ekstraklasa 2025-2026 games, as an interesting anytime goalscorer choice as he can do it all and is a targetman when Piast sit deep.
The home side have hit the net 19 times in their 15 home games this term, but GKS Dospel will like their chances of scoring against Piast’s leaky defence. The Piast Gliwice vs GKS Dospel Katowice betting tips also point out GKS top scorer Eman Markovic is in blistering form, netting six of his side's last 12 goals in their previous five matches, while fellow goal-getter Bartosz Nowak has been the Polish side’s reliable man with eight in 31.
The odds of 3.5 for a draw look generous given the difference in these clubs’ points tallies, but the Piast Gliwice vs GKS Dospel Katowice prediction suggests both teams to score - yes and over 2.5 goals in an end-to-end game that could see the sides share the spoils. Piast have the better of the head-to-head record with one win and two draws in their three Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 games against GKS, including a 3-1 away win five months ago, but that’s not enough to put them in the lead on this occasion.
