Widzew Lodz form and stats

Widzew Lodz must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Ekstraklasa games here at Stadion Miejski Widzewa Łódź.

Widzew lost their last game at Legia Warszawa (placed 1st) after a 1-3 scoreline. Ravas had a busy but productive day in the Legia Warszawa match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.

Preceding that match was the home game against Slask Wrocaw that was lost 0-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Widzew Lodz perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Widzew Lodz as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Widzew Lodz has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 7.

The Widzew Lodz fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Widzew's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
