The FALUBAZ Zielona Góra team will come to Lublin for the rematch, having won the first match against MOTOR 52:38.
Tuesday’s match will be particularly interesting as both teams are just behind the final two, having accumulated 20 points, trailing the leaders from Toruń and Leszno by only one point. This duel will therefore be crucial for both teams.
The local MOTOR faced a defeat last week at the Motoarena in Toruń, losing to Piotr Baron’s team 47:43. The absence of injured Benjamin Basso caused significant issues for Maciej Kuciapa, which the Lublin club manager will have to contend with in Tuesday’s competition.
Last week’s match, where the team from Rybnik faced FALUBAZ Zielona Góra, ended in an unexpected defeat for the Zielona Góra team, who managed only to secure a bonus point. Damian Ratajczak, who returned to racing, performed well, although he was absent from the announced lineup for Tuesday’s competition.
MOTOR Lublin:
- Krzysztof Sadurski
- Fraser Bowes
- Bartosz Bańbor
- Dawid Cepielik

The Grudziądz team will welcome the IMPAKT WŁÓKNIARZ team to their venue, who won their first match against Robert Kościecha’s team with a score of 60:30.
Tuesday’s match will be a battle of teams from the lower part of the table. The GRUDZIĄDZKIE MEBELKI GKM team has had a longer break from competitions, as last week’s match against the Leszno team was canceled. With four points collected, the team is in the penultimate position in the table.
The players from the area beneath Jasna Góra are doing a little better this season. With fifteen points, the IMPAKT WŁÓKNIARZ team is in the mid-table, just behind the teams from Lublin and Wrocław. For Tuesday’s match, compared to the game against POLCOPPER AGROMIX UNIA Leszno, Mariusz Staszewski changed the starting pair lineup. This time Bartosz Śmigielski will ride with Wiktor Lampart, and Kacper Halkiewicz will pair up with Franciszek Karczewski.

The Gorzów team will welcome the youth team of GRUPA METROCARS ROW Rybnik at the Edward Jancarz Stadium, having won the first match 47:43.
PERŁOWA PRZYSTAŃ STAL Gorzów has behind them a heavy defeat against U24 BECKHOFF SPARTA Wrocław, ending 62:28. For Tuesday’s match, Piotr Świst has delegated a consistent lineup for his team. The hosts will thus defend their four-point lead from the first match with an unchanged squad.
Rybnik, having defeated FALUBAZ Zielona Góra 48:42 in last week’s competition, certainly gains great motivation to fight for points in upcoming matches – including the upcoming one. Diamond of the GRUPA METROCARS ROW team is definitely Radosław Kowalski, who shines on the tracks this season. It is his points that may significantly contribute to the match’s outcome.

On Sunday, in the Ekstraliga matches, teams from Wrocław and Toruń will face each other. Now it’s time for a rematch of these teams in the training league. AVO KS Toruń will fight for points in the table against the local U24 BECKHOFF SPARTA Wrocław. The first of these matches ended with a high victory for Piotr Baron’s team, 55:33
The current standings are extremely tense. The balanced performances of the teams and the small point differences make every match extremely valuable. Not long ago, it seemed Wrocław’s chances of reaching the final were slim, but now the fifth-placed team in the Wrocław table is only three points behind the Toruń team. Last week, Dariusz Śledzia’s team defeated Gorzów on their own track 58:32.
Last week’s encounter between AVO KS Toruń and the visiting MOTOR Lublin ended with a victory for the local team 48:42. Tuesday’s meeting promises to be interesting. Wanting to stay at the top of the table, Toruń must win the upcoming match.
