Cracovia host Sevilla at the Marshal Józef Piłsudski Stadium in Krakow in what is a significant pre-season test for Luis Garcia Plaza’s side, who arrive in Poland off the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Torremolinos. The Polish side, managed by Bartosz Grzelak, have shown genuine signs of form in July, winning two of their last three, but the gap in class between these clubs is hard to ignore. Sevilla carry a world club ranking of 154 compared to Cracovia’s 821, making this a genuine mismatch on paper. The interesting angle here is whether Cracovia’s home crowd and competitive domestic preparation can keep the margin respectable, or whether Sevilla’s squad depth proves too much even in a friendly setting.
One player to track for Cracovia is whoever lines up as the advanced playmaker in Grzelak’s setup, given the side scored three goals against Basaksehir in their most recent home outing. For Sevilla, the attacking unit that put together a 3-2 win over Villarreal earlier in preseason will be looking to build confidence, and their forwards will test Cracovia’s defensive organisation from the first whistle.
Hot stat: Cracovia scored six goals across their last three July fixtures, including a 3-1 win over Basaksehir and a 2-0 defeat of Pardubice, showing they are capable of finding the net even against organized opposition.

Cracovia vs Sevilla Prediction
Sevilla are the clear favourites at 1.50, and that price is justified. The Spaniards have won four of their last five matches across all recent form, and while this is a friendly, Luis Garcia Plaza will want his squad to show a level of professionalism that makes a comfortable win the expected outcome. Cracovia’s July form is encouraging at a domestic level, but their lone defeat in that stretch came against Pafos, a side ranked well outside the top 200, which raises questions about their ceiling against higher-quality opposition.
Cracovia do commit fouls and rely on disrupting rhythm rather than controlling possession, which could slow Sevilla down in patches. That said, Sevilla’s recent matches show they are not shy in front of goal, having scored in all five of their last games. We predict a Sevilla win with goals at both ends as the most likely scenario, with Cracovia capable of grabbing at least one given their scoring run. The Sevilla win on the Asian Handicap is the best value route, covering the margin without needing a blowout.

Team Analysis
Cracovia arrive at this fixture in reasonable shape for July. Their most recent outing was a 2-0 win over Pardubice, a controlled performance that followed a strong 3-1 victory against Basaksehir. Both results show a team capable of pressing and converting chances when the opposition allows space. Before those wins, Cracovia drew with Korona Kielce and shared six goals with Motor Lublin in a 3-3 draw, suggesting their defensive structure is not always reliable. Their only defeat in July came against Pafos, a 1-2 reversal that exposed vulnerabilities when opponents press high. Over the year, Cracovia have managed only a 18% win rate across 22 matches, underlining that consistency is a problem. Grzelak’s side have been more aggressive in the final third than their seasonal record suggests, but they concede regularly and will need a strong defensive display to stay in this game.
Sevilla’s July preparations have been compact but productive. Their most recent fixture was a 1-0 win over Torremolinos, a modest but professional result. Before that, they suffered back-to-back losses to Celta Vigo and Real Madrid, both 0-1 defeats that came against La Liga opposition in what were clearly more competitive settings. The squad responded well, beating Villarreal 3-2 in a match that showed attacking quality and a willingness to play through pressure. Their 2-1 win over Espanyol before that added another competitive result to the record. Sevilla’s overall friendly form this summer reads as a team finding their shape, and Luis Garcia Plaza appears to be rotating his squad through these games. Their last five matches produced goals in every game, and their attackers look sharp enough to cause Cracovia problems throughout.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Sevilla the favourite
- Moneyline Cracovia 4.70 | Sevilla 1.50
- Draw 4.40
The odds paint a clear picture. Sevilla at 1.50 reflect their class advantage, and the bookmakers’ probability of 60% for a Sevilla win aligns with what the recent form data shows. Cracovia at 4.70 is not without logic given home advantage and their improved July form, but the gulf in quality makes a home win a low-probability outcome. The draw at 4.40 is interesting given this is a friendly where Sevilla may rotate heavily, but their goal-scoring record in recent games makes a stalemate unlikely. We see value in combining the Sevilla win with over 2.5 goals rather than backing the straight moneyline at a compressed price.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Sevilla are the right side to back here. Their squad quality, recent scoring record, and the fact they have won four of their last five matches across all competition types makes them the standout pick. Cracovia have shown they can score in July, putting three past Basaksehir and two past Pardubice, which is why we lean toward both teams to score rather than a clean sheet for the visitors. The combination of a Sevilla win, both teams to score, and over 2.5 total goals gives the best coverage of what we expect to be an open, goal-friendly friendly. Cracovia’s home support may push them to compete for 60 to 70 minutes, but Sevilla’s depth off the bench should see them pull clear in the second half. We predict a 3-1 or 2-1 final scoreline in favour of the Spanish side.
