Motor Lublin have confirmed they will play a friendly match against Śląsk Wrocław. The preparatory fixture is scheduled for Saturday, October 17, serving as a direct warm-up for their upcoming Ekstraklasa league match against the same opponent.
The Lublin-based club will use this test to fine-tune tactics and assess the squad ahead of a key league encounter. For supporters, it offers a rare glimpse into the team's final preparations just days before a decisive fixture. The coaching staff gets one last opportunity to trial formations and player rotations.

Their recent form reads WDLLW, with the last result being a 3-2 victory over Radomiak Radom. That win broke a run of poorer performances and provided a confidence boost ahead of the challenges to come.

Immediately following the friendly, as part of the 11th league round, Motor Lublin will face Śląsk Wrocław again, with the opponent currently in 17th place. This home match presents a chance for the Lublin side to secure valuable points and distance themselves from the relegation zone. The full schedule of upcoming matches, including this league clash, is available in our fixtures calendar.
The recent win against Radomiak demonstrated the team's character, coming from behind to win late through a goal from Christopher Simon. Karol Czubak, the team's current top scorer with six goals, also found the net from the penalty spot. Such moments build morale ahead of decisive weeks. The squad status and any injury updates are continuously monitored in the injuries section.
The friendly with Śląsk is therefore a strategic part of the preparations. It allows for testing specific tactical setups tailored to the opponent's style, whom they will face in the league just days later. For the players, it's also a chance to maintain match rhythm following the emotionally charged win in Radom. The lineup for the friendly may differ from the starting eleven in the league, offering fringe players an opportunity to impress. Motor Lublin's next official duty is the Ekstraklasa match against Śląsk Wrocław on Saturday, October 17, 2026.
