- Widzew sit 14th in the Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 table with 39 points from their 32 games to date, while Piast are two places higher on 41 from the same number of matches.
- Aleksandar Vukovic’s side have a pretty good home record in Ekstraklasa this season with eight wins, four draws and four defeats from 16 games in the home of the white and greens.
- Widzew are a pro-active, passing side who like to build from the back and create wide overloads by pushing their full-backs forward.
Piast Gliwice
- Piast are a counter-attacking team that sits deep and makes their money when they can hit opponents with a few vertical passes in transition.
- Piast have won five, drawn four and lost seven of their 16 away matches this term and are without a win in their last two visits to Lodz.
Head-to-Head
Widzew Lodz have won four of the last five meetings between the clubs, including a 2-0 Ekstraklasa road win five months ago .
Key Players
- Sebastian Bergier has been Widzew’s talisman up front this term with 14 goals in 28 Ekstraklasa games, including two of his team’s last five.
- German Barkovsky has four strikes in 29 appearances and will be their main focal point on Saturday.
Betting Insights
Take the 2.13 odds on a home win and look for Under 2.5 goals at 1.81 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.75 to add to the value of the bet.
Prediction
- Widzew Lodz should return to winning ways at home to mid-table Piast Gliwice on Saturday, but the away side have enough counter-attacking flair to cause problems for the hosts.
- Piast can certainly trouble the home defence and we’re expecting both teams to score in a low-scoring game.
- Widzew have scored 22 goals at home, while Piast have managed 21 away from home this campaign.
