**Katowice's rolling while Ostrava's grinding** — one team's on a three-win streak, the other's barely keeping heads above water. 🔥

Katowice have won 3 of their last 5 and just downed Cracovia at home. Ostrava, meantime, are 1W-1D-3L and leaking goals left and right. The form gap is real here.

Key storylines:

- **GKS Katowice's attack** — **B. Nowak**, **I. Shkurin**, and **M. Wdowiak** have been sharp; Ostrava's backline (without the suspended **V. Sinyavskiy** mobility) could be exposed
- **Baník Ostrava's search for stability** — one win in five is rough, and friendlies like this are chances to find rhythm before the pressure mounts
- **Midfield control** — **E. Jirka** and **M. Kowalczyk** steering Katowice's tempo against **J. Boula** and **D. Planka** will decide possession flow

Expected lineups:

- **GKS Katowice**: G. Kobylak, P. Resta, A. Jędrych, L. Klemenz, E. Marković, E. Jirka, M. Kowalczyk, B. Wolski, B. Nowak, I. Shkurin, M. Wdowiak
- **Baník Ostrava**: M. Jedlička, D. Holzer, M. Frydrych, M. Chaluš, A. Bewene, J. Boula, D. Planka, R. Nogha, A. Gning, V. Jurečka, F. Šancl

Prediction:

**Katowice 2-1 Ostrava** — slight favorite. Home form and recent wins give the edge. 📍
