Stolarski points to defensive errors
Widzew have not won in seven league rounds, and are still waiting for their first home win of the season. The change of manager has not improved results so far: under Mateusz Stolarski, Widzew drew twice and then lost to Piast Gliwice 1–2. The last game was decided in the 91st minute. At the press conference before the Wisła game, the manager did not put the defeat down to bad luck. He pointed to specific lapses on the decisive goal: allowing a cross and leaving an opponent unmarked in the box. He demands more precise work from his players in defence.
Wisła look for efficiency away from Kraków
Wisła won all five of their home games, but from five away games they brought back only two draws. They lost the other three. In the last round they lost to Legia Warszawa 0–2 and failed to score for the first time this season. Mariusz Jop links the away difficulties to weaker finishing and the pressure created by the home fans. He hopes his players will cope with it better in Łódź. Stolarski does not underestimate Wisła's attack after the defeat in Warsaw, though. He points out that against Legia, too, the visitors managed to create chances. That is why he says one of Widzew's main tasks will be to limit the time the visitors keep the ball.
