Lech looking to continue winning streak
Widzewiacy are an erratic side under the astute Aleksandar Vukovic, who has made them a more pragmatic, compact team than last season's attacking, but unstructured version. They are tough to play against, but they don't always win the games that they should.
Lech Poznan are the complete opposite, a high-tempo possession side with aggressive pressing and vertical attacking players that should cause Widzew more problems than they might want on Sunday.
Widzew have had a mixed start to Ekstraklasa 2026/2027, with three draws, one loss and one win in their first five matches. Their last three games have been a 0-2 away win at Jagiellonia, a 1-0 home defeat and a 3-3 draw at Slask Wroclaw. Fran Alvarez is the leading scorer in Ekstraklasa 2026/2027 with 2 goals in 5 appearances and remains the main end-product player for Widzew.
Lech look to have found their rhythm under Niels Frederiksen, winning each of their last five matches in all competitions. Their two most recent outings were a pair of statement victories, thumping KI Klaksvík 5-0 away in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026 before smashing FC Thun 7-0 at home. Kolejorz are yet to lose away in the 2026/2027 campaign, winning 1 from 1 and averaging 2.0 goals scored on the road.
Lech to secure the victory
Recent meetings
The head-to-head record between these two sides in the 2025/2026 season was split 2-1 in Lech's favour, although Widzew did win the most recent meeting 2-1 at home five months ago. Lech have failed to win any of their last 3 away games against Widzew, so the Lodz crowd may feel they have a chance for another upset in this one.
Betting outlook
The visitors are clearly the form team and should win the game on that basis, but Widzew are stubborn at home and won't make it easy on the day, so the moneyline market doesn't look right for this matchup, where Lech are favourites at 2.24. Over 2.5 goals at 1.62 looks the cleaner bet, with Lech's firepower suggesting that they can make this an entertaining night.
Players to watch
- Allahyar Sayyadmanesh has 2 goals in 3 games for Lech in the 2026/2027 Polish top flight and looks sharp in the box, Luis Palma has 2 assists in 3 for Lech in 2026/2027 and is providing Kolejorz with a serious creative spark between the lines.
