Orange Ekstraklasa Week 24

As we wrap up this weeks Ekstraklasa it has become harder to figure out who will win this year with GKS Belhatow's win over LKS Lodz they have returned to the top after a 24 hour break over Zaglebie Lubin whos won away to Wisla Plock and sre still kepping pace with Belhatow. But now we have a new contender for the title which is Wisla Krakow with their 3-1 win over Legia Warsawa and with this win they have brought themselves back into the title race. Now the surprise result of this week was Korna Kielce's loss to Odra Wodzislaw whos have now won 3 games in a row and have pulled them selves out of the relegation zone and into a pretty safe position. Now the race for to avoid relegation has started up once again because Arka Gdynia and Gornik Leczna are not being relegated which I think is a bizzare move by the PZPN but putting that asidethe lower teams are starting to play better. My Widzew Lodz has finally won a game which was against Pogon Szcecin who are now falling into a deeper and deeper hole.

Now Arka is a revived team under coach Stawowy and beat Cracovia 4-2 at home to now move 5 points clear of the playoff zone which should prove as a massive moral boost. Not the same thing could be said for Gornik Lezcna who lost to Lech Poznan with Lech still fighting to prove themselves and coach Francisek Smuda for a job, nevertheless Gornik Leczna are still seeming like a dangerous opponent that should be not taken lightly. Another team still fighting to stay alive is Gornik Zabre who lst in an exciting game 3-2 to Groclin Grodzisk Wielkopolski and are now teetering on the brink of playoffs and are only ahead of Gornik Leczna on goal difference.

So now we await with aticipation to see what the next weeks results will be as a massive battle at the top with Korana facing Zaglebia where a loss could prove disasterous to either team in what we call the Orange Ekstraklasa.
