Kalisz — Stal Mielec: 28:21, Superliga

Kalisz beat Stal Mielec 28:21 in the Superliga on Sunday evening. The home side finished with three points from four matches, sitting in tenth place, while the visitors remained winless after four games and stayed in eleventh. By then the result felt inevitable — Stal had drawn every game so far and Kalisz had already found a way to grind out points at home.

The visitors came in with a heavy recent record: five straight defeats, including losses to Wisła Płock and Gwardia Opole. Kalisz had been inconsistent too — they lost to MMTS Kwidzyn and Ostrow Wielkopolski but beat Brno twice. And here's the thing, the difference showed up in the scoreline. Kalisz took control early and never looked back.

Our prediction had gone the other way — we gave Stal Mielec a 59 per cent chance to win. That was wrong. The away side's draw-heavy form suggested resilience, but resilience doesn't win 28:21. Kalisz had the sharper edge in attack and Stal simply couldn't match the output.

After this result Kalisz move to two points, while Stal remain on zero. The gap between them is now clear — one side has found a way to secure results, the other is still searching. The Superliga table is still early, but the pattern is forming.
