Widzew Łódź host Wisla Krakow in the Polish Ekstraklasa. Wisla have been picking up wins fairly regularly this season, while Widzew have found victories much harder to come by in the league.
This one is still a few weeks off, so there's time for both sides' form to shift before kickoff. Right now, though, Widzew's habit of drawing games at home sits alongside a visiting side who look comfortable higher up the table.

Widzew's last five in the league tell a different story: four draws and a loss, with no win in that spell. They're not losing many games, but they're not finding a way to win them either.
Widzew's draw-heavy run could make this a tighter, lower-scoring game than the table gap suggests.
Comparative Team Statistics: Widzew Łódź vs Wisla Krakow

History doesn't offer much
There are only two recorded meetings between these sides, both cup ties rather than league games. Wisla Krakow won both: 2-1 at home in 2024 and 3-1 away back in 2021.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cup | Wisla Krakow | Widzew Łódź | 28.02.2024 | 2-1 |
| Cup | Widzew Łódź | Wisla Krakow | 02.12.2021 | 1-3 |
Given the age and different competition of those results, they don't tell us much about how this league fixture will go.
A clear gap in the table
Wisla Krakow sit fourth after nine games, with five wins, two draws and two defeats. Widzew are down in twelfth over the same number of matches, with just one win and six draws.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Lech Poznan | 8 | 6 | 1 | 1 | 17/7 | 19 |
| 4 | Wisla Krakow | 9 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 17/12 | 17 |
| 5 | Pogon Szczecin | 8 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 12/6 | 15 |
| 11 | Wisla Plock | 8 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 9/12 | 11 |

| 13 | Cracovia Krakow | 9 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 9/14 | 8 |
That's a fair distance between the two sides this early in the season, and it matches what their recent form has been showing.

Names carrying the threat
Ángel Rodado is Wisla Krakow's top scorer with four goals in nine appearances, giving them a clear focal point up front. Mario García has been Widzew's main creative outlet, chipping in with assists from midfield.
On the disciplinary side, M. Krajewski and M. Maisonneuve have both picked up three yellow cards already, so referees may be watching them closely in a game that could get feisty.

Wisla Krakow arrive with the better recent record and a healthier position in the table, but Widzew haven't been beaten often either, just held to a lot of draws. That combination makes it hard to back a clear outcome with confidence.
With no market currently attached to the fixture, this is one to keep an eye on closer to matchday rather than settle on now.
