Widzew are more likely winners
Recent results
Wisla Plock beat Rakow Czestochowa 2-1 away in their Ekstraklasa 2026-2027 assignment but that result probably did more to settle some nerves from a 0-1 home loss to KS Gornik Zabrze in their Ekstraklasa 2025-2026 match than anything else. The hosts are now 1-1-3 in their last 5 and it's not hard to understand why that is the case.
Their team is not in bad shape but a quick glance at the stats suggest that Adam Majewski's men lack penetration and get caught out too easily when they over-commit.
Tactical profile
Marcin Flis leads Wisla Plock in Ekstraklasa 2026/2027 scoring with 1 goal in 1 game, a pretty good ratio, but he is more likely to be found back on the defensive line or in set-piece situations than in front of goal. Majewski's side look a team that have been built to keep things tight and patiently build up while controlling the space.
Widzew are probably more equipped to come at Wisla Plock with a fast pace and a high-tempo style of play that should see them get the ball forward quickly and be on the front foot.
Widzew are a more settled team
Recent results
A 1-0 away defeat to Korona Kielce followed by a 2-1 home victory over Piast Gliwice was the order of things for Widzew last time out and it shows how Aleksandar Vukovic's men can bounce back quickly when things go wrong. Vukovic's team have won three of their last five but they haven't been flying in the rankings.
Managerial impact and key player
Vukovic has instilled a faster transition game and higher-pressing style to Widzew since taking charge on 6 March 2026 and they are more direct than they were when they last lost to Wisla in a 2-0 away win in Ekstraklasa 2025-2026. Sebastian Bergier has been Widzew's main provider with 3 assists to his name in their seven goals across the last 5.
Odds and odds suggest a close match
Widzew are a better team on paper and should win, but the odds here (2.3) and Wisla's away win in their previous game suggest a very close game on Friday.
The visitors, who score 0.40 and concede 1.00 per game on their travels, will be content to keep this a chess match on Friday and it should be a long game with neither side playing a true attacking style.
- Widzew are 4-3-3 across their last 10 in all competitions compared to Wisla's 4-1-5 in the same period and have the added bonus of not having lost to the hosts in two of the last three encounters.
- Under 2.5 goals is priced at 1.65 for this clash at Stadion Kazimierz Gorski and Both Teams to Score – No at 1.88 are both worthy of a small wager given Wisla score only 0.25 goals per home game and concede 1.50 on average across all venues.
