Widzew's recent record tells a different story. They've won just 7 of their last 20, but drawn 10, with only 3 losses. They're hard to beat, scoring 34 and conceding 24, but struggle to turn draws into wins.

Widzew's habit of drawing could make backing a home win here a bit risky.

Players to watch

How this one could go

Katowice's scoring power at home, mixed with Widzew's tendency to grind out draws, sets up an interesting contrast. If Katowice find the net early, their recent scoring form suggests they can press home the advantage.

But Widzew's defensive solidity, just 24 goals conceded in their last 20, means they won't be easy to break down, and their draw habit shows they can hold firm even against a stronger attack.
