Form Guide

Raków Częstochowa — All Games: 2W 5D 3L from 10 Ekstraklasa outings this season, averaging 1.10 points per game. Last five: W L D D D. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

In front of their own supporters this season, Raków Częstochowa have posted 5W 3D 2L at zondacrypto Arena — 1.80 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at zondacrypto Arena. Their home PPG of 1.80 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.10 — Raków Częstochowa are significantly better at zondacrypto Arena than their overall form suggests.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Cracovia Krakow stand at 2W 4D 4L from 10 Ekstraklasa matches — 1.00 PPG. Last five: L L W L D. Their scoring rate of 0.80 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.

Cracovia Krakow's form when playing away from home: 2W 3D 5L across 10 road games this term (0.90 PPG).

The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Raków Częstochowa 1.10 PPG, Cracovia Krakow 1.00 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Raków Częstochowa 1.12 xG and Cracovia Krakow 0.68 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: Raków Częstochowa attack 0.855 / defence 0.824 | Cracovia Krakow attack 0.742 / defence 0.919. League average goals — home 1.428 / away 1.112. Data: 62 Raków Częstochowa games / 62 Cracovia Krakow games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Raków Częstochowa 45% | Draw 33% | Cracovia Krakow 22%. Fair-value odds: Raków Częstochowa 2.22 | Draw 3.03 | Cracovia Krakow 4.55. Raków Częstochowa hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (33%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 27% | BTTS probability 34% | Total xG 1.80. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 73% probability — total xG of 1.80 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS No has firm model support at 66% — Cracovia Krakow's lower xG of 0.68 creates a meaningful probability of a scoring blank, which suppresses the BTTS Yes probability to 34%.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Raków Częstochowa are the pick at 45% — moderate model lean. With a 33% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Raków Częstochowa offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 1.80 combined xG gives a 27% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 1.9 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 34% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Raków Częstochowa 40% | Cracovia Krakow 30% BTTS from recent games.
