Cracovia (home)
- Cracovia are 12th in Ekstraklasa 2026/2027 with 12 points from 11 games.

- Bartosz Grzelak's men are a possession-first side that like to press high and play at a quick pace since he took charge on 21 April 2026.

Motor Lublin (away)
- Motor Lublin are 11th in the table, one point better off with 13 from 12.
- Mariusz Misiura's visitors are a much more compact and disciplined unit that can be dangerous on the counterattack.
- Motor are the team in better shape going into this matchup with eight points from their last five games (W2, D2, L1) compared to four points from Cracovia's last five (W1, D1, L3).
- Misiura has done a good job since taking over on 1 July 2026 and they are very dangerous on the break.
- Motorowcy have a little more bite of late, however, beating Slask Wroclaw 3-2 and then drawing 2-2 with Zaglebie Lubin in their two most recent matches.
Head-to-Head
- It all points to a close game with chances at both ends.
- The correct score prediction of a 3-3 draw is taken from their head-to-head at Motor's home the last time they met in the top-flight.
Key Players
- Karol Czubak is Motor's main man in the Ekstraklasa 2026/2027, bagging five goals in nine appearances, and he is one of few players that can carry Motor's offensive burden.
- In the same vein, Ajdin Hasic leads the way for Cracovia with three in nine so the visitors will need to be aware of him.
Betting Insights
- The two main bets on the game look a bit short to us with over 2.5 goals at 1.7 and both teams to score at 1.62, both of which imply a high scoring affair.
- Motor have averaged 1.60 goals per game on the road while conceding 2.00, so it is difficult to have much faith in them away from home against a much stronger side, but we do think they can make this a close matchup.
Prediction
- Cracovia are still in the process of establishing themselves in the Polish top flight and still don't look quite stable yet.
- Motor have been a little better, but only by a point, and they have also struggled.
- The correct score prediction of a 3-3 draw is taken from their head-to-head at Motor's home the last time they met in the top-flight.
