Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Raków Częstochowa have gone 7W 3D 0L — a 2.40 PPG return. Last five: D W D D W. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 0.60 conceded. Defensively, conceding just 0.60 per game is an exceptional defensive record. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches.

Raków Częstochowa's home record over their last 10 home games: 5W 2D 3L (1.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 1.70 lags behind their overall 2.40 — home advantage has not translated into better results recently.

Motor Lublin — last 10 games: 6W 0D 4L — 1.80 PPG. Last five: L W W W W. They are scoring at 1.90 per game and conceding 2.00. Conceding 2.00 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Motor Lublin away from home: 4W 1D 3L from their last 8 away games — 1.62 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.62 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 62% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

Raków Częstochowa are in the better shape of the two on recent form — 0.60 PPG ahead (2.40 vs 1.80). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 1 H2H match, Raków Częstochowa have won 1, Motor Lublin 0, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 1 H2H match in our data averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 21 Jul 2024, ended Raków Częstochowa 2–0 Motor Lublin — a Raków Częstochowa win.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading Patterns

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Raków Częstochowa 29% versus Motor Lublin 53%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Raków Częstochowa 24% | Motor Lublin 47%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Raków Częstochowa surrender their half-time lead 25% of the time, while Motor Lublin have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 33% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Raków Częstochowa 1.83 xG and Motor Lublin 1.05 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 0.952 / defence 0.748 | Motor Lublin attack 1.156 / defence 1.299. League average goals — home 1.479 / away 1.210. Motor Lublin's defence rating of 1.299 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Raków Częstochowa's projected output up. Raków Częstochowa have a tight defence (rating 0.748), which is pulling Motor Lublin's projected output down. Data: built from Raków Częstochowa's last 51 games and Motor Lublin's last 17.

Result probabilities: Raków Częstochowa 56% | Draw 23% | Motor Lublin 21%. Fair-value odds: Raków Częstochowa 1.80 | Draw 4.38 | Motor Lublin 4.66. The model has a clear lean to Raków Częstochowa (56%) — a 33pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS Yes probability 54% | Total xG 2.88. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.88 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 54% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Raków Częstochowa as the most likely outcome at 56% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 23% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 2.88 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 55% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Raków Częstochowa's last 10 home games and Motor Lublin's last 8 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 54%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Raków Częstochowa 40% (last 10 home games) | Motor Lublin 62% (last 8 away games).
