Janusz Niedźwiedź is the first coach to be sacked in the polish ekstraklasa this season. widzew łódź, which he managed, collected just 7 points after 7 games this season and finished 12th in the table.

Match day in the Polish League

Radomiak Radom - Puszcza
Both teams are struggling and closer to the relegation spots; what do you reckon would happen? i think a draw is the closest result.

Slask Wroclaw - Piast Gliwice
This game is a tricky one for the weekend, with Wroclaw winning 5 in a row and Gliwice having 4 consecutive draws, do you think league leaders Slask Wroclaw can get a win at home against such opponent ?

Cracovia - Pogon Szczecin
With Cracovia above Szczecin on the standings with only a point; this tie is anyone that wins goes higher up on the standings. I think over 1.5 is the safest bet here.

Lech Poznan - Stal Mielec
Both teams are just a point apart like Cracovia - Pogon Szczecin tie; do you think any of the teams can nick a win ?
