Piast Gliwice vs Stal Mielec Predictions

Piast Gliwice, managed by Aleksandar Vuković, sit 6th in the Ekstraklasa with 28 points from 18 matches as of February 21, 2025. Their last league game before the break was a 2-1 victory over Widzew Łódź on December 14, 2024, with Jorge Félix and Michael Ameyaw scoring, marking their third win in five (3W, 1D, 1L). At home, Piast have been formidable, winning five of nine matches (5W, 3D, 1L), scoring 15 goals and conceding 8. A 1-0 friendly win over J2 League side Shimizu S-Pulse on February 15 showcased their sharpness, though injuries to Patryk Dziczek (hamstring) and Jakub Holúbek (knee) persist. New signing Tihomir Kostadinov from Ludogorets joins Félix (7 goals) and Ameyaw (5 goals) in attack.

Stal Mielec, under Janusz Niedźwiedź, are languishing in 16th place with 16 points from 18 matches, just above the relegation zone. Their last competitive outing was a 2-0 loss to Jagiellonia Białystok on December 15, 2024, extending a poor run of one win in seven (1W, 1D, 5L). Away form has been dismal, with two wins in nine (2W, 2D, 5L), scoring 9 goals and conceding 16. A 2-1 friendly win over Znicz Pruszków on February 14 offers some optimism, but injuries to Krystian Getinger (calf) and Mateusz Dudek (ankle) weaken their squad. Piotr Wlazło (5 goals) and Ilya Shkurin (4 goals) lead the attack, with new signing Robert Dadok from Górnik Zabrze adding depth.

Piast dominate the head-to-head record, winning 7 of 12 meetings (Stal: 2W, 3D), including a 2-0 victory in their last clash on August 19, 2024, at Mielec, where Félix and Ameyaw scored. Piast have won three of five home games against Stal, keeping clean sheets in two. With Piast’s home strength (1.78 points per game) and Stal’s away struggles (0.89 points per game), the hosts hold the edge, but Stal’s desperation for points could make this closer than expected.
