The highly anticipated showdown between Motor Lublin and Lechia Gdańsk is set to kick off today, February 1, 2025, at 14:45 at Arena Lublin.

Motor Lublin enters the match brimming with confidence after finishing the autumn season unbeaten over the last five matches, boasting four victories and one draw. They have found the net consistently, scoring in nine consecutive games. If they continue this streak against Lechia, it will set a new record for the club. The home team currently sits at 7th place in the league table with 28 points, just four points shy of the top four, demonstrating their potential to challenge for European competition spots.
