The form comparison is too close to call — 1.20 PPG (Pogon Szczecin) versus 1.60 (Raków Częstochowa). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.

Head to Head

Despite the anticipated home advantage, Raków Częstochowa have the better historical record — 5 wins from 8 previous contests against 1 for Pogon Szczecin.

These sides have historically produced few goals — 1.6 per contest from 8 previous meetings. The Under 2.5 market has a well-supported historical case here. The most recent clash, on 19 Apr 2025, ended 1–0 with Pogon Szczecin winning.

It is worth noting that Raków Częstochowa have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 5 wins from 8 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Pogon Szczecin 47% versus Raków Częstochowa 45%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Pogon Szczecin 55% | Raków Częstochowa 42%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Pogon Szczecin 1.61 xG and Raków Częstochowa 1.48 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: Pogon Szczecin attack 1.139 / defence 1.123 | Raków Częstochowa attack 1.071 / defence 0.888. League average goals — home 1.589 / away 1.229. Data: 40 Pogon Szczecin games / 38 Raków Częstochowa games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Pogon Szczecin 41% | Draw 24% | Raków Częstochowa 35%. Fair-value odds: Pogon Szczecin 2.44 | Draw 4.17 | Raków Częstochowa 2.86. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 24% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.09. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.09 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.61 / 1.48) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Pogon Szczecin as the most likely outcome at 41% — marginal model lean. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Pogon Szczecin offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.09 combined xG gives a 60% probability to Over 2.5 — marginal — conflicting signals, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.6 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data: Pogon Szczecin 30% | Raków Częstochowa 40% from recent games — a notable divergence.

The outsider holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
