Widzew Lodz v Slask Wroclaw live tips - Polish champions to start with win

Slask Wroclaw begin the defence of their Ekstraklasa crown with a visit to four-time former Polish champions Widzew Lodz. 

Watch and bet on Widzew Lodz v Slask Wroclaw at Bet365 > live streaming > football from 14:45 BST on Saturday, August 18

In a desperately close end to the 2011-12 campaign, Slask Wroclaw captured only their second title and first since 1977 by one point from Ruch Chorzow, with Legia Warsaw and Lech Poznan only three and four points behind the champions respectively.

And the encouraging aspect for those thinking of backing Slask Wroclaw at 17/10 with Bet365 to win this game is that last season’s triumph was based on their excellent away form.

While their results at home were only fair, it was on the road that Orest Lenczyk’s side excelled as they won eight out of 15 matches – more than any other side.

That good work continued when they launched their Champions League assault in the qualifiers and won 2-0 away to Montenegrin champions Buducnost before advancing 2-1 on aggregate.

But since then they have exited the elite competition after a 6-1 defeat over two legs to Helsingborgs and drop into the Europa League, in which they face Hannover 96.

Slask Wroclaw have also played a Polish Cup tie already and won 1-0 away to Polkowice, while they captured the Super Cup on penalties after a 1-1 draw with Legia Warsaw.

Cristian Diaz scored both Slask’s goals in those games and the Argentinian striker is the man they will be pinning their hopes on against Widzew Lodz.

Last season was a slightly disappointing one for Widzew, who finished only 10th of 16 in the league table although they did take four points from their two meetings with Slask Wroclaw, including an away victory.

Back-to-back champions in the early 1980s and again in the mid-1990s, Widzew are in their third season back in the top flight having been relegated in 2008.

They have already exited the Polish Cup after a 1-0 defeat away to Piast Gliwice and scoring goals was a problem for them last term – only 25 bagged in 30 league games.

Tunisia international striker Mehdi Ben Dhifallah carries their main goal threat and he will need to be on song if Widzew Lodz are to get anything out of this game against opponents who are so effective on their travels.

Bet365 make both teams 17/10 to win and it’s 21/10 for a draw. At the prices available, Slask Wroclaw have to be the recommended bet to take three points.
