Lechia Gdansk vs Piast Gliwice

Lechia Gdansk will host Piast Gliwice on the 27th week of Ekstraklasa. Lechia Gdansk is required to win if they do not want to lose their position at the top of the standings.

Victory is indeed an absolute mission for Lechia Gdansk when dealing with Piast Gliwice at Ekstraklasa this weekend. But it will not be easy for Lechia Gdansk to remember that Piast Gliwice is currently in their best form and is ready to bury the dream of Lechia Gdansk to win Ekstraklasa this season.

Piast Gliwice is at his best. The team made by Waldemar Fornalik successfully won their last 5 matches at Ekstraklasa before the international break. The series of victories also made Piast Gliwice now in third place with 46 points.

While Lechia Gdansk itself appears inconsistent. Despite the success of winning his last match before the last international break over Zaglebie Sosnowiech, the victory was only their second victory in the last 5 matches at Ekstraklasa, the remaining 2 draws and 1 defeat.

As a result, although currently they are still in the top position of the standings, their position is increasingly insecure because it is only 2 points away from Legia Warszawa in second place. Lechia Gdansk is also required to improve their performance if they want to finish as top leaders in this regular season.

Despite inconsistencies, Lechia Gdansk will still be the winner in this match. One reason is a matter of record meetings. Lechia Gdansk is indeed still more dominating the meetings of the two teams lately. Of the 7 meetings, including the first meeting of the season (1-1), Lechia Gdansk successfully secured 4 wins and only lost once to Piast Gliwice. The defeat occurred last season where Piast Gliwice managed to humiliate Lechia Gdansk with a score of 2-0 at home.

In addition, the host factor will also be an important capital for Lechia Gdansk to stop the pace of Piast Gliwice. This season, Lechia Gdansk is the only team that has never lost at home to Ekstraklasa. Of the 13 matches, Lechia Gdansk recorded 9 wins and 4 draws.

Our Prediction: Over 2.5

Odds: 1.65
