Wisla Plock vs Arka Gdynia Prediction 09.03.2026 | Ekstraklasa

Wisla Plock approach Monday's contest in somewhat worrying form, having endured a four-game losing streak in recent weeks, with their latest setback arriving in the shape of a tough 2-0 defeat against title-chasing Zaglebie Lubin.

Despite those recent stumbles, the Nafciarze remain firmly involved in the race for European qualification, currently sitting seventh in the standings with 33 points to their name, level with Cracovia in 6th and only five points adrift of the league leaders.

Defensive solidity has been one of Wisla Plock's biggest strengths this season, as the Blue-Whites boast the tightest backline in the Ekstraklasa with just 20 goals conceded across 23 matches. However, their push towards the top four has been somewhat hindered by a lack of attacking sharpness, highlighted by a relatively modest return of 24 goals scored so far.

Head coach Mariusz Misiura must also contend with a couple of selection concerns ahead of this Matchday 24 fixture, as Quentin Lecoeuche recently picked up an unspecified injury and remains a doubt for Monday's clash, while Spanish midfielder Jorge Jimenez continues his spell on the sidelines with a long-term issue.

In the meantime, Arka Gdynia arrive in Plock precariously placed in 15th position, hovering just a single point above the dreaded dotted line, with their top-flight status hanging by a thread after suffering a bruising 3-1 defeat away to Radomiak Radom last Thursday.

Indeed, the Sledzie’s most glaring weakness continues to be their fragile defensive unit, which has conceded a league-high 41 goals so far this season, a troubling statistic that manager Dawid Szwarga must urgently address if his side are to avoid slipping into the bottom three.

While Arka can boast the strongest home records in the division, their performances on the road have been nothing short of disastrous, with the visitors leaving hostile territory empty-handed in a staggering 10 of their 11 away outings while conceding at an alarming average of 2.5 goals per match.

French midfielder Aurelien Nguiamba will not feature in the clash with Plock as he serves a one-match suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards, although he remains the only absentee for the visitors, with the rest of the squad available for selection.
