There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Piast Gliwice leading ŁKS Łódź by 17 points.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Piast Gliwice form and stats
Piast Gliwice have performed here at Stadion Miejski w Gliwicach this season with 6 wins from 10 Ekstraklasa matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Piast Gliwice to get some points in this home game.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 284 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Felix was the last player to find the net.
The fans are hoping that Piast Gliwice will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Ekstraklasa game against Pogon Szczecin (placed 2nd). Before that match, a Polish Cup win away at Legia Warszawa II.
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 Piast Gliwice have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.
Piast Gliwice are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. From these home matches, Piast Gliwice have conceded only 9 goals.
ŁKS Łódź form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for ŁKS Łódź so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-8 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in ŁKS Łódź's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Two away games in a row for ŁKS Łódź, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Lech Poznań in the Ekstraklasa. It was a Polish Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Tychy 71 wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
We have checked recent matches where ŁKS Łódź have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were W2-D3-L2.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Wisa Krakow in just four days.
The attacking power of ŁKS Łódź when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 10 league matches away. The ŁKS Łódź manager K. Moskal has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
