Prediction published on 02/08/2024, 14:15  by Kennedy Kechula in Football Predictions

On the back of solid starts to the season, Legia Warsaw and Piast Gliwice will meet hoping to add to their gains so far. Hosts Legia arrive for this game placed second while Piast are fourth. Here we take a look at the stats ahead of the match then offer our prediction.

Legia Warsaw, 15-time league champions, come into this game fresh from a 5-0 win away to Caernarfon Town in the Conference League. That win completed an 11-0 victory across the two legs and presented their fourth straight clean sheet.

Having won four of four so far, and playing at home, Legia Warsaw will have the mental edge in this encounter. Legia are tied on six points alongside champions Jagiellonia and see this as a chance to pull clear. So far in the league, they have the best defence, being the only team yet to concede a goal after the opening two rounds.

Piast Gliwice will go into their third match of the season hoping to keep their unbeaten start. They finished 10th last season, winning just nine of their 34 matches and will want to do better this time.

Their season commenced with a 1-1 draw away to Cracovia before winning 2-0 at home to Slask Wroclaw. In their away match, a late concession denied Piast Gliwice a winning start while extending their poor run on the road.

The visitors have now failed to win any of their last three matches away from home. In 19 away matches, they managed just two wins and they have five losses in the last eight. A combination of this run and their recent performances against Legia Warsaw doesn’t paint a very promising picture coming into this game.
