Legia Warszawa form and stats

4 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Legia Warszawa have to build on here at Stadion Miejski Legii Warszawa im. Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego in the Ekstraklasa.

The fans are hoping that Warszawa will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Ekstraklasa game against Podbeskidzie (placed 16th). Before that game, the home loss against Stal Mielec with the scoreline 2-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Warszawa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost three.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Warszawa as they are travelling to their away game against KS odz in the Polish Cup. That match is three days after this one.

A decent goal production from Legia Warszawa in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 8 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
