Górnik Łęczna, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) in 1. Liga, battle against Widzew Lodz for glory and sporting success.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Górnik Łęczna form and stats

As mentioned below, Górnik Łęczna are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 1. Liga games. It’s been three wins in a row for Górnik here at Stadion Górnik, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Górnik manager K. Kieres and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Chrobry Głogów (placed 11th) in the 1. Liga. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Radomiak Radom.

This is expected to be a close game, with Górnik perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Górnik Łęczna as a small favourite), we find five games. Górnik Łęczna has won two of these, drawn one and lost two.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Górnik as they have a new game in only four days, a 1. Liga match thankfully also at home. Arka Gdynia are visiting.

Goals decide football matches and Górnik Łęczna are scoring many of them at home; 7 on target from 3 league matches. Górnik have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.

Widzew Lodz form and stats

1-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Widzew Lodz in their 1. Liga matches away.

The supporters enjoyed Widzew's previous game versus Sandecja Nowy Sacz (placed 18th), a 1. Liga 2-1 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Puszcza Niepołomice's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Widzew playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were zero Widzew Lodz wins, one draw and three defeats.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Widzew Lodz's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. The Widzew manager E. Dobi has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Górnik won zero games, four matches ended with a draw and Widzew Lodz has six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
