Motor Lublin
- 14th-placed Motor Lublin have had a similar start to that of last season, taking nine points from their first ten games of Ekstraklasa 2026/2027 and sitting in the bottom seven.
- The hosts have had some decent results recently, but nothing to get them out of the rut, and they come into this game with a mixed record of W2, D1, L2 from their last five matches.
- Motorowcy drew 0-0 at home to KS Gornik Zabrze before earning a vital 3-2 away win at Radomiak Radom last time out, so there is more bite up front than last season.
- The hosts have seen plenty of comings and goings since July, but they have had Mariusz Misiura at the helm since 1st July 2026, and he has built a side on the back of a controlled build-up, a high line and aggressive pressing.
Zaglebie Lubin
- Zaglebie Lubin have more points than Motor, but the 15 from their ten games, puts them 9th in Ekstraklasa 2026/2027 and they also enter this match, as consecutive defeats saw them lose the momentum they had been building.
- Miedziowi were turned over 2-0 at home to Wisla Plock before they lost 3-1 away to Cracovia, so the backline hasn't been at their best.
- Leszek Ojrzyński has been at the club since 13th March 2025, and he has set up a compact, disciplined side which is built for transitions and counterattacks.
Head-to-Head
- Motor have won two of the last three meetings between the sides (D1, L0).
- Motor Lublin have had the better of their guests in two of the last three meetings, winning 1-0 on the home turf 7 months ago.
- Zaglebie have won one, drawn two and lost two of their five away Ekstraklasa 2026/2027 matches (scored 1.20, conceded 1.80).
- Motor have won once, drawn once and lost three of their five Ekstraklasa 2026/2027 home matches, and have scored only four goals at home this season.
Key Players
- Karol Czubak is Motor Lublin's main man with five Ekstraklasa 2026/2027 goals in nine, and he has scored three of their last six.
- Marcel Regula is Zaglebie's best scorer with two goals in 9, so they will need more from their frontline to claim the win on Friday.
Betting Insights
- It is not easy to split these two sides as the market reflects (Motor Lublin 2.1 & Zaglebie Lubin 3.15).
- Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.6 & 1.7 respectively, which is a reflection of the lively game that we are predicting.
- The visitors have the superiority in the league table, but the head-to-head record gives the edge to the host team.
Prediction
- We're backing the host team to make their stadium a fortress and get the win here, albeit by a narrow margin.
- Motor's high line should allow plenty of space in behind for the counterattacks of the visitor team, so we're expecting a close match.
