Motor Lublin vs Zaglebie Lubin Prediction & Betting Tips

Motor Lublin have won just once in their last nine Ekstraklasa matches, drawing three and losing five, and that run has left them down in 16th. Their home form hasn't been much better either, with a draw and two defeats in their last four at home, alongside one win over GKS Katowice.

Zaglebie Lubin's league form reads far more positively over the same stretch: four wins, three draws and just two losses, which puts them seventh. That said, their most recent outing was a 2-0 home defeat to Wisla Plock, so the run isn't spotless.

Worth noting Zaglebie's numbers here cover both home and away matches, not their away form specifically.

Comparative Team Statistics: Motor Lublin vs Zaglebie Lubin

History leans surprisingly Motor's way

The last five meetings between these sides make interesting reading given their current form gap. Motor have won four of those, including two of the last three, with the other finishing 2-2. Zaglebie haven't beaten Motor across that run.

None of that history was built with either side in its current state, though, so it's more a curiosity than a strong pointer for this specific fixture.

Recent head-to-head dominance for Motor sits oddly alongside their poor season, so it shouldn't be weighted too heavily.

Table tells its own story

Zaglebie sit seventh with 15 points from nine games, built on four wins and just two defeats. Motor are down in 16th with only six points from the same number of matches, having won just once.

Where the goals and creativity come from

Motor's main attacking threat has been K. Czubak, who's scored five goals in nine appearances, with Ndiaye and Ivo Rodrigues each chipping in three assists. For Zaglebie, J. Corluka has provided two assists in six matches, though that's a limited sample to draw much from.

Motor Lublin:

Best scorers:

K. Czubak - 5

Best assist providers:

M. Ndiaye - 3

Ivo Rodrigues - 3

Penalty cards:

Paskal Konrad Meyer x 2

Zaglebie Lubin:

Best assist providers:

J. Ćorluka - 2

Motor's Paskal Konrad Meyer has picked up two yellow cards in nine games, nothing that points to a suspension risk here.

What to expect on the day

Motor will want home advantage to count for something, given how far off the pace they've been domestically this season. Zaglebie, despite the better league form, have shown they can be got at, including that recent home loss to Wisla Plock.

With Motor's struggles at home and Zaglebie's form wobbling slightly, this looks tighter than the table gap alone would suggest.
