LIVE: Wisła Kraków vs Cracovia | Ekstraklasa
Wisła Kraków have been perfect at home this season, but their biggest local rivals are coming to town. The 204th meeting between the two clubs brings together contrasting runs of form and a rivalry that stretches back more than a century.
Wisła Kraków host Cracovia this Friday in one of Polish football's most historic rivalries, with the match airing LIVE on beIN SPORTS at 2:30 PM ET.
Known as the White Star, Wisła currently sit eighth in the standings with 21 points, having recorded six wins, three draws and four defeats.
Their overall league position tells only part of the story.
At home, Wisła have been flawless, winning all six of their league matches in front of their supporters.
A seventh consecutive home victory would be particularly satisfying against their city rivals.
Cracovia Look to End a Four-Match Away Losing Streak
For Cracovia, the challenge is very different.
The visitors sit 13th with 12 points, having registered three wins and three draws this season.
They have yet to win away from home and arrive at the derby on the back of four consecutive away defeats.
That record stands in sharp contrast to Wisła's perfect home form.
Cracovia will be hoping the intensity of a local derby can help them reverse their fortunes and secure a much-needed result.
The Holy War: A Rivalry Dating Back to 1908
The meeting between Wisła Kraków and Cracovia is known locally as the Holy War, one of Poland's most storied football rivalries.
Friday's match will mark the 204th meeting between the clubs.
The earliest encounter documented in a newspaper took place in 1908, ending in a 1-1 draw.
More than a century later, the fixture remains a major occasion for supporters on both sides of Kraków.
Ángel Rodado and Ajdin Hasić Could Decide the Derby
Wisła will be looking to Spanish forward Ángel Rodado to rediscover his scoring touch.
Rodado has scored four goals this season, but has not found the net since mid-September.
He has also missed penalties in two consecutive matches, adding to the pressure as he prepares for another important fixture.
Cracovia, meanwhile, will turn to Ajdin Hasić for attacking inspiration.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international has been involved in eight of his team's 15 goals this season, making him a central figure in their attack.
The visitors also have Kahveh Zahiroleslam, a 24-year-old California-born forward, among their attacking options.
