Match preview
Piast Gliwice host Widzew Lodz at Stadion Miejski in Gliwice on 28 November 2025 in what looks set to be a tight Ekstraklasa clash. The bookies give Piast the edge at 2.30, with the draw priced 3.30 and an away win at 3.15 — odds that reflect a contest between two sides struggling for consistency. Piast sit lower in the table but arrive with encouraging recent results, while Widzew have shown flashes of attacking output across the season but remain fragile at the back.
Form and recent meetings
Piast’s last fixtures include strong away wins — 3-1 victories at Raków Częstochowa and Katowice — and a goalless draw against Korona Kielce. Their latest run is mixed but has signs of life: five wins from the last ten results shows they can upset higher-ranked opponents. Widzew, by contrast, have won fewer matches recently and arrived beaten 3-1 by Korona Kielce on 23 November. Their ten-game form (L-L-D-L-W-W-L-L-W-L) suggests volatility: capable of scoring — reflected in 23 goals overall — but equally prone to conceding.
Head-to-head context is thin: a friendly in July saw Widzew edge Piast 1-0, but friendlies rarely mirror league intensity. Piast’s home record shows modest returns — six goals scored and six conceded at home — while Widzew’s overall numbers reveal a team that shoots often (228 total shots, 77 on target) but also leaks goals (26 conceded). Over 2.5 goals has occurred with some regularity in fixtures involving both teams this season, and both sides have recorded three clean sheets apiece, so results swing both ways.
Tactical outlook and statistical edge
Piast’s attack has become more productive in recent weeks, turning promising attacking averages (73.36 attacks per game) into meaningful results. Their corners and shots inside the box point to a side willing to press in the final third. Widzew produce slightly more shots on target overall, but their defensive record away from home is worrying: 16 goals conceded away suggests Piast can exploit gaps, especially at Stadion Miejski where home support and familiarity can matter.
Bookmaker probabilities give Piast approximately a 43.5% chance of victory, compared to 31.8% for Widzew — a margin that backs the home side but still leaves room for an upset.

Betting suggestion: Back Piast Gliwice to win (1) in the 1X2 market at around 2.30. The home side’s uptick in form, combined with Widzew’s defensive inconsistencies and Piast’s recent victories against strong opponents, make the home win the most value-driven selection from the available markets. As always, stake responsibly and consider trimming stakes if team news or late odds shifts alter the value proposition.
