Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.20 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Raków Częstochowa stand at 4W 2D 4L from 10 Ekstraklasa matches — 1.40 PPG. Last five: L D D W W. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for Raków Częstochowa, so this record blends games from this season and last.

H2H Record

The fixture history tells a clear story: Cracovia Krakow have dominated this rivalry, winning 4 of 8 past contests while Raków Częstochowa have managed just 1 wins.

The 8 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 1 Feb 2025, ended 0–0 with a draw.

The historical record gives Cracovia Krakow a meaningful edge here — 4 wins from 8 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Cracovia Krakow 1.33 xG and Raków Częstochowa 1.03 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Cracovia Krakow attack 0.977 / defence 0.893 | Raków Częstochowa attack 0.929 / defence 0.834. League average goals — home 1.632 / away 1.240. Data: 44 Cracovia Krakow games / 44 Raków Częstochowa games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Cracovia Krakow 43% | Draw 29% | Raków Częstochowa 28%. Fair-value odds: Cracovia Krakow 2.33 | Draw 3.45 | Raków Częstochowa 3.57. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
