Form Guide
Raków Częstochowa — All Games: 3W 0D 7L from 10 Ekstraklasa outings this season, averaging 0.90 points per game. Last five: L L L L L. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Raków Częstochowa have played only a handful of Ekstraklasa games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
In front of their own supporters this season, Raków Częstochowa have posted 5W 1D 4L at zondacrypto Arena — 1.60 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. Their home PPG of 1.60 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.90 — Raków Częstochowa are significantly better at zondacrypto Arena than their overall form suggests.
Looking at all fixtures this season, Cracovia Krakow stand at 2W 5D 3L from 10 Ekstraklasa matches — 1.10 PPG. Last five: D W W L L. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — 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. Cracovia Krakow have played only a handful of Ekstraklasa games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Cracovia Krakow's form when playing away from home: 0W 6D 4L across 10 road games this term (0.60 PPG). Away from home they average 0.60 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. Their away PPG of 0.60 is notably below their overall 1.10 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Raków Częstochowa 0.90 PPG, Cracovia Krakow 1.10 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H Record
The previous 10 encounters between these sides heavily favour Cracovia Krakow, who boast 5 victories compared to 2 for Raków Częstochowa.
The 10 previous meetings have averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 16 Aug 2026, ended 1–2 with Cracovia Krakow winning.
It is worth noting that Cracovia Krakow have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 5 wins from 10 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.
In-Play Profile
Raków Częstochowa in-play tendencies (40 games, 19 at home): they score before half-time in 74% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (home games).
Cracovia Krakow in-play tendencies (40 games, 19 at away): they score before half-time in 47% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 53% of the time; BTTS occurs in 37% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time; they fail to score in 35% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Raków Częstochowa 60% versus Cracovia Krakow 48%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Raków Częstochowa 52% | Cracovia Krakow 45%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Raków Częstochowa 1.28 xG and Cracovia Krakow 1.25 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 0.991 / defence 1.334 | Cracovia Krakow attack 0.732 / defence 0.842. League average goals — home 1.530 / away 1.280. Data: 39 Raków Częstochowa games / 40 Cracovia Krakow games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Raków Częstochowa 33% | Draw 34% | Cracovia Krakow 32%. Fair-value odds: Raków Częstochowa 3.03 | Draw 2.94 | Cracovia Krakow 3.12. The draw (34%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 2.53. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.53 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 34% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 33% and away win at 32% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.53 combined xG gives a 46% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.
Poisson assigns a 55% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Raków Częstochowa 50% | Cracovia Krakow 40%.
The outsider holds a 32% 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.
