Widzew Lodz form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Widzew Lodz, who have the most scored goals (30) in 1. Liga, playing as the away team in the 1. Liga this season. Widzew seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There might be some fixture complaints from Widzew Lodz as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the 1. Liga match against Podbeskidzie (0-4). Widzew Lodz lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Miedz Legnica.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Widzew Lodz in our archives, and the results are: one win for Widzew Lodz, three draws and four defeats.
