Widzew Lodz vs Lechia Gdansk Match Preview

Widzew Lodz hosts Lechia Gdansk in the 3rd matchday of the Polish league.

The home team in the first two matches in the first division measured their strength away from home where after good performances they beat Jagiellonia 2-0 and lost 2-1 to Pogon in a match that could have ended in a draw.

Undoubtedly, the first home game of the year comes at a point where Lodz are in great morale and tickets have been sold out some days ago, while their fans are expected to give a big push for a victory.

On the other hand, the visitors did not compete in the second matchday of the league since it was between their European games against Rapid Vienna.

In the opening game of the league, Lechia suffered a heavy defeat with 3-0 by Wisla Plock, while in midweek they were defeated at home with 1-2 by the Austrians, in a match that wasted a lot of energy in order to equalize but in the end they were eliminated.

Without doubt, the guests are a better and more experienced team than the hosts, but taking into account the above I expected the set of odds to be pretty shared. I think the victory of the home team should be offered at 2.90 odds, but I will go one step further, i.e. at -1 asian handicap at odds of 5.25, since I expect the fatigue of the visitors to cost them towards the end of the match and I will stake 4 units.
