There’s also action from the Polish top flight and our next preview features a relegation clash between LKS Lodz and Wisla Krakow as the betting tips continue at the Stadion MOSiR.
LKS Lodz Prediction – Can Lodz gain vital win?
After having suffered a fifth defeat in six matches on the weekend away at Piast Gliwice in a 2-1 defeat, Thursday night’s hosts, LKS Lodz, remain bottom of the Polish top flight as they prepare for this ‘six-pointer’ against fellow strugglers, Wisla Krakow.
Recent defeats to Jagiellonia Bialystok, Slask Wroklaw, Lechia Gdansk, Lech Poznan and Piast Gliwice have resulted in Lodz staying firmly rooted to the bottom of the Ekstraklasa, but they’ll feel they have a real chance of redeeming themselves in this upcoming basement clash at their Stadion MOSiR.
Of course, four of Lodz’s last 6 matches overall in the Ekstraklasa have been away from home too and this hasn’t done the hosts any favours either as 4 of their 5 defeats were on their travels, but recent results at home will give Lodz reason to be confident ahead of this clash.
Lodz have won 3 of their last 4 matches on home turf with victories gained over Korona Kielce 4-1, Rakow Czestochowa 2-0 and a 1-0 win against Cracovia Krakow, and it’s this recent winning momentum which will give the hosts plenty of belief in grabbing the points here.
Wisla Krakow Prediction – Can Wisla Krakow pull away from bottom?
The visitors sit level on 14 points apiece at the bottom of the Ekstraklasa with LKS Lodz despite their weekend victory over Pogon Szczecin in a 1-0 home win, but this will also give Wisla Krakow a much-needed boost ahead of this basement encounter on Thursday night.
That win on the weekend would certainly have been a welcome three points for Wisla Krakow as the visitors had endured a disastrous spell of defeats which saw them lose their previous 10 league matches on the trot, and this worrying slump in form also includes losing their last 6 away matches on the trot.
Indeed, an away record of 0-2-8 7/25 shows the troubles that Wisla Krakow have had to endure on their travels in this season’s Polish top flight campaign, and this poor sequence of results could well continue at Lodz on Thursday night.
With just 1 away win out of their last 15 away matches which also includes 12 defeats, Wisla Krakow look likely to have their work cut out to get a result here.
Key-Facts – Lodz vs Wisla Krakow

Betting Tips Verdict
