0 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what ŁKS Łódź have to build on here at Stadion ŁKS-u in the Ekstraklasa. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for ŁKS Łódź with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Cracovia Kraków game, 55 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Stadion ŁKS-u have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for ŁKS Łódź as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

ŁKS Łódź lost their last game at Pogoń Szczecin (placed 1st) after a 0-1 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Wisła Płock.

This is expected to be a close game, with ŁKS Łódź perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with ŁKS Łódź as a small favourite), we find four games. ŁKS Łódź has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Pogoń Szczecin.
