Widzew Lodz vs Wieczysta Krakow: Possession Meets a Serious Defensive Problem. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
Wieczysta’s poor defensive record, conceding 18 goals without a clean sheet, combined with Widzew’s balanced scoring and conceding rates, supports both teams scoring. Wieczysta’s possession and attacking attempts create chances, while Widzew’s varied attack can exploit defensive gaps, making BTTS a credible choice despite Wieczysta’s recent scoring dip.
A 1-1 draw fits Widzew’s frequent draws and Wieczysta’s balanced scoring, with both teams averaging 1.3 goals per game. Widzew’s attack and Wieczysta’s defensive frailty support a single goal each, though defensive volatility and recent low-scoring games pose risks to this exact scoreline.

Three Punchy Stats
- Wieczysta have conceded 15 goals in seven league matches, more than twice per game. Widzew’s attack has been modest, but this is a defence offering opportunities.
- Widzew have drawn five of their eight Ekstraklasa fixtures. Their 11-11 goal difference reinforces just how frequently they have operated around narrow margins.
- Wieczysta average 57.6% possession but have lost five of seven league games. Having more of the ball has done little to compensate for conceding 2.1 goals per match.

Clean Sheets in Last 5 Matches
Recent defensive records for Widzew Lodz and Wieczysta Krakow are shown below.
Widzew have drawn five of eight Ekstraklasa matches and sit on eight points, while Wieczysta have lost five of seven and collected four.
The more revealing contrast is how those results have been produced. Wieczysta are averaging considerably more possession than Widzew and generating a similar attacking output, but their defensive record is substantially worse. Widzew have hardly been convincing themselves, though this fixture gives them an opportunity to turn a season dominated by draws into something more substantial.
Wieczysta’s Possession Is Not Buying Control
Wieczysta’s average 57.6% possession across their seven league matches initially looks encouraging. They have also produced 14.4 attempts per game, marginally more than Widzew’s 13.4, while averaging the same 1.3 goals.
The problem is everything happening in the other direction.
They have conceded 2.1 goals per league game, allowing opponents 16.1 attempts and 5.3 shots on target. Across their wider eight-match sample, they have no clean sheets and have conceded 18 goals.
That is a significant disconnect. Wieczysta can have plenty of the ball without controlling the scoreline, and their 59% possession in the recent 2-0 defeat at Pogon Szczecin illustrates the point neatly. Three shots on target brought no goal, while another away fixture ended in defeat.
Widzew Need to Make Home Advantage Count
Widzew’s own record hardly demands unqualified praise. One win from eight league matches explains why they remain 13th, while their five draws have prevented a difficult start from becoming significantly worse.
Recent results underline the frustration. A 1-1 draw at Legia Warszawa followed a goalless home game against Radomiak Radom, and Widzew have failed to win any of their last five home matches across the league and Polish Cup.
Their underlying league numbers are balanced almost to the point of irritation: 1.3 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per game, with 13.4 attempts created against 13.9 allowed. Even their league table record sits perfectly level at 11 goals for and 11 against.
Mariusz Fornalczyk has at least provided a clear attacking contribution with three goals, while Fran Alvarez, Angel Baena and Sebastian Bergier have two apiece. Widzew are not dependent on a single scorer, but turning reasonable attacking volume into victories remains the obvious challenge.
The Away Record Exposes Wieczysta
For all Widzew’s home difficulties, Wieczysta’s travelling record is harder to overlook. They have lost five of their six most recent away matches across the competitions listed, conceding 15 goals in the process.
There has been attacking resistance within that sequence. Wieczysta scored four at Piast Gliwice and twice at Cracovia, while Tobias Christensen leads their league scoring with three goals. Five of their last seven league matches have seen both teams score.
Yet their three most recent league away games have all ended in defeat. More recently, their last three league matches have each contained fewer than three goals, suggesting the earlier high-scoring pattern has cooled.
The match therefore brings together Widzew’s inability to turn parity into wins and Wieczysta’s inability to translate possession and attacking activity into defensive security. Neither flaw is subtle.
📊 Market Explainer
Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
Selection: BTTS Yes. Both teams must score at least once during normal time. The match winner does not matter; the selection is settled only by whether each side finds the net.
Correct Score Market
Selection: Widzew Łódź vs Wieczysta Kraków 1-1. Predict the exact score at the end of 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties do not count unless the bookmaker states otherwise.
🎯 Pick 1: BTTS Yes @ 4/7
Wieczysta Kraków’s defensive record provides a strong foundation for both teams finding the net at Stadion Widzewa. Across eight matches in all competitions, Wieczysta have failed to keep a single clean sheet while conceding 18 goals in total. In league play alone, they leak 2.1 goals per match and allow opponents 5.3 shots on target from 16.1 total attempts per game. Widzew Łódź carry an identical scoring and conceding rate of 1.3 goals per fixture, making their matches naturally competitive at both ends of the pitch.
The interaction between Wieczysta’s possession style and their leaky backline creates continuous transition chances. Wieczysta average 57.6% possession and generate 14.4 attempts per game, proving they possess the means to break down opposition defences away from home. They have already scored four goals at Piast Gliwice and two at Cracovia, with five of their seven league games featuring goals for both sides. Widzew’s attacking spread—led by Mariusz Fornalczyk with three goals alongside Fran Alvarez, Angel Baena, and Sebastian Bergier on two each—means the hosts do not rely on one individual to capitalize on Wieczysta’s defensive lapses.
The main risk to this market lies in Wieczysta’s recent scoring drop, as their last three league outings have all fallen under 2.5 total goals, including a 2-0 defeat at Pogon Szczecin where they managed three shots on target without scoring. However, given that Widzew have gone five home matches without a win and concede over 13 attempts per game, Wieczysta should find sufficient opportunities to score alongside the hosts.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Wieczysta Kraków have conceded 18 goals in eight matches across all competitions, failing to keep a single clean sheet.
- Five of Wieczysta’s seven Ekstraklasa fixtures have seen both teams score, including away goals at Piast Gliwice and Cracovia.
- Widzew Łódź average 1.3 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per league game, holding an even 11-11 goal difference.
Risk Factor: Wieczysta’s recent scoring drop and failure to score in their last away match could undermine this prediction.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Wieczysta control large shares of the ball and generate 14.4 attempts per game, pushing players forward away from home.
Allowing 16.1 attempts and 5.3 shots on target per match leaves them constantly exposed when losing possession.
⚔️ Pick 2: Widzew Łódź vs Wieczysta Kraków 1-1 @ 6/1
A 1-1 draw represents a logical convergence of Widzew Łódź’s persistent draw pattern and Wieczysta Kraków’s balanced scoring output. Widzew have drawn five of their eight Ekstraklasa matches this season, including a recent 1-1 outcome away at Legia Warszawa. Their overall league record sits at an even 11 goals scored and 11 goals conceded, reflecting a team that averages exactly 1.3 goals for and 1.3 goals against per game. Facing a Wieczysta defence that has conceded 18 goals in eight matches across all competitions and zero clean sheets, Widzew possess enough attacking volume (13.4 attempts per game) to secure a goal.
Conversely, justifying Wieczysta’s single goal relies on their consistent forward output despite poor overall team results. Wieczysta match Widzew’s scoring average with 1.3 goals per league match and generate 14.4 attempts per fixture. They have found the net in five of their seven league games, supported by Tobias Christensen leading their scoring with three goals. With Widzew allowing 13.9 attempts per match and failing to win any of their last five home games in all competitions, Wieczysta have clear avenues to score once.
The risk with an exact 1-1 prediction is the high volatility in Wieczysta’s defensive numbers, having conceded two or more goals in several matches this season. Furthermore, their three most recent league fixtures have all finished under 2.5 goals. While current performance metrics make a single goal for each side highly plausible, any second goal from Widzew’s varied frontline or additional defensive collapse by Wieczysta would defeat the selection.
Risk Factor: Wieczysta concede 2.1 goals per game on average; if Widzew exploit those defensive gaps to score a second goal (e.g., 2-1), or if either side keeps an unexpected clean sheet, the 1-1 correct score bet loses.
