- Motor Lublin have failed to win any of their last 5 matches (D2, L3) including a 2-5 home loss to GKS Dospel Katowice 3 days ago.
- Widzew Lodz arrive in a much better mood having won 3 of their last 5 games, losing the other 2. They have won consecutive games coming into this, with last time’s match being a 3-2 win at home against Radomiak Radom.
Exciting tactical matchup on the cards
Our Motor Lublin vs Widzew Lodz prediction reflects that Motor Lublin haven’t won at home to Widzew Lodz in either of the sides’ last two meetings, although the most recent game was a 2-1 away win for Motor in the Ekstraklasa 2024/2025, 6 months ago. Motor are winless in their last 2 at Arena Lublin, so it is hard to back them to turn things around on Friday. Mateusz Stolarski’s young team have only won 1 of their 5 home games in the Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 (D3, L1), conceding an average of 1.6 goals per game.
The bookmakers have Widzew Lodz as favorites at 2.46, with Motor Lublin at 2.74 and the draw at 3.35. The Motor Lublin vs Widzew Lodz betting tips suggest that it will be very close, but Widzew are the team in better form right now and we’ll side with them to take home the win.
Widzew Lodz sit 8th in the Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 after taking 16 points from their first 12 games, and are currently holding their own in the top half of the table. New boss Patryk Czubak has overseen a slight upturn in results since taking the helm in August 2025. Widzew Lodz are still a work in progress, but they have won 2 of their last 3 on the road.
This Motor Lublin vs Widzew Lodz preview promises a tightly contested encounter between two sides eager to take the next step.
Both teams are likely to score
The Motor Lublin vs Widzew Lodz prediction is shaped by both sides’ approaches - Motor look to press high and play a compact 4-4-2 system, where they look to make their presence felt and put opponents under pressure. This has been their identity since Stolarski’s appointment as head coach in March 2024. Widzew Lodz are looking to play with tempo and directness under their new manager, but should be a bit more structured in possession and build-up than their opponents.
Widzew Lodz are the slight favourites here, and are on a better run of form than Motor. However, a lot will depend on who wins the midfield battle, and who can force the most turnovers and fast breaks. We expect a fast-paced and back-and-forth game, with both sides looking to catch the opposition out, and the ‘Both To Score’ market at 1.55 looks very attractive.
Karol Czubak leads the line for Motor Lublin, scoring 5 league goals in 9 games this season, including 3 in the last 5. Fran Alvarez is Widzew Lodz’s main goal threat with 5 goals in 12 Ekstraklasa 2025/2026 games, 4 of them coming in the last 5 outings.
