Match context and form lines
Arena Lublin will host an intriguing Ekstraklasa clash as Motor Lublin welcome Legia Warszawa on 01/12/2025. This isn’t a title decider, but it’s a fixture packed with narrative: two mid-table sides separated by just a point, mirrored recent form and a memorable 3-3 draw when they met earlier in the season. Motor sit 12th with 19 points from 15 matches while Legia are 13th on 18 — a gap that promises intensity rather than caution when kick-off arrives.
Motor arrive buoyed by a strong recent result, a 2-1 win away at Cracovia where Ivo Rodrigues stood out with the best-player rating. Their home record shows they can both attack and be porous: ten goals scored at Arena Lublin but nine conceded, and a run of draws that underlines a team hard to break down but also prone to shared spoils. Legia’s recent matches have been stop-start — a 2-2 draw with Lechia after trailing at half-time and a frustrating cup exit within the last weeks — with Bartosz Kapustka emerging as their standout performer in the latest draw.
Tactical tendencies and statistical edge
Look at the underlying numbers and Legia edge this encounter on supply: they average more total shots (254 vs 191) and higher attacks per game (90.27 vs 74.33). That attacking volume is crucial on the road, even if their away returns (7 goals scored vs 11 conceded) hint at defensive vulnerability. Motor’s home games display a willingness to engage — over 2.5 goals have landed in a majority of their matches at 53.3% — while the head-to-head 3-3 tells you neither side shies from open exchanges.
Odds favor the visitors at roughly 2.12, with the draw priced at 3.55 and the home win at 3.25. The market reflects a close call with a tilt toward Legia’s superior attacking metrics and their capacity to nick results.
Betting angles and what to watch
Expect a cagey opening followed by more open play as the match progresses — both teams carry recent tendencies to concede and to find the net. Given the H2H fireworks earlier this season, the volume of shots from Legia and Motor’s home goal frequency, the goal market offers the best balance between risk and value.

Betting suggestion: BTTS — Yes. Given the prior 3-3 meeting, Motor’s inclination for higher-scoring home ties and Legia’s attacking volume on the road, both teams to score looks the most consistent play here. Keep stakes moderate and consider small live opportunities if the match opens up after 60 minutes.
