When they met frequently over the past two seasons, Widzew Lodz tended to come away with the result more often, including a 3-0 win last year. But this time the shape of both teams is quite different, because Katowice are playing at home where they started better, and Widzew Lodz have become a team that is better at sharing the points than at taking wins. Katowice recently thrashed 4-1 at home and followed that with a narrow 2-1 win, but after that they lost three in a row without scoring a single goal. Their attack is therefore still not settled. As for Widzew Lodz, they have not beaten anyone in five straight matches, but four of those were draws. The scores are not wide and their defence does not fall apart easily. They are a team that plays waiting for the moment rather than attacking. This pair is likely to be a game where Katowice dominate the ball and push high, while Widzew Lodz sit back and wait to counter. The first half may still be tight and end level or with just a one-goal lead, but in the second half the hosts should step up and find more chances, especially late in the game when Widzew Lodz often concede.
