H2H History

Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 3 meetings: Wisla Plock 0W, Raków Częstochowa 2W, 1D.

These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 4.0 per game across 3 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 5 Nov 2022, ended 1–7 with Raków Częstochowa winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 4.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Wisla Plock 0.86 xG and Raków Częstochowa 0.99 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: Wisla Plock attack 0.849 / defence 0.978 | Raków Częstochowa attack 0.968 / defence 0.754. League average goals — home 1.350 / away 1.049. Raków Częstochowa's defence strength of 0.754 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 66 Wisla Plock games / 66 Raków Częstochowa games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Wisla Plock 30% | Draw 33% | Raków Częstochowa 37%. Fair-value odds: Wisla Plock 3.33 | Draw 3.03 | Raków Częstochowa 2.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 33% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 28% | BTTS probability 37% | Total xG 1.86. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 72% probability — total xG of 1.86 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 37% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Raków Częstochowa at 37% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 33% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Raków Częstochowa if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 1.86 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 28% probability — marginal — conflicting signals conviction, supported by form averaging 1.9 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 4.0 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 37% on No. Form rates corroborate: Wisla Plock 40% | Raków Częstochowa 50% BTTS from recent games.
