Lars's Take

Headline Pick

Lech Poznan to win Won

Strong · Home advantage

Both Teams to Score

BTTS — No Won

50.9% model probability

Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Won

54.4% model probability

Both clubs arrive on contrasting trajectories: Lech has turned a draw into three consecutive wins, while Raków has stumbled through four straight defeats. The disparity in recent results alone suggests a shift in momentum heading into this Ekstraklasa clash.

Lars's Verdict

Strong

Lech Poznan to win Won Solid lean Strong · Home advantage

Lech's 48.8% win probability outstrips Raków's 25.2%, driven by superior expected goals and a solid defensive record at home.

Show the maths

The model assigns Lech 48.8% to win, Raków 25.2% and a 26.0% draw. This split derives from Lech's 1.5 expected goals versus Raków's 1.0, plus Lech's zero goals‑against at home versus Raków's two away. The higher xG and tighter defence lift Lech's win probability well above the draw and away win chances, producing a clear statistical edge for a home victory.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Won 50.9% model probability

With Lech Poznan averaging 1.5 expected goals and Raków Częstochowa averaging 1.0, the model gives a 50.9% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 49.1% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Lech Poznan 1.5, Raków Częstochowa 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 49.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 50.9% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Won 54.4% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.5 (Lech Poznan 1.5 + Raków Częstochowa 1.0) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 54.4% chance against 45.6% for Over.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Lech Poznan 1.5 + Raków Częstochowa 1.0 = 2.5 combined): 45.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 54.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Lech Poznan at 48.8%, the draw at 26.0%, and Raków Częstochowa at 25.2% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 12.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Lech Poznan

DWWW

Lech's recent run of D‑W‑W‑W shows a steady climb, highlighted by a 2‑1 win away at Wieczysta Kraków and a 3‑0 home victory over Piast Gliwice. Those results demonstrate both scoring potency and defensive solidity, underpinning the expectation of another win at home.

Raków Częstochowa

LLLL

Raków's four‑game losing streak includes a 1‑2 home loss to Wisła Płock and a 2‑5 home defeat to Jagiellonia, indicating both offensive struggles and defensive frailties. This form suggests they are unlikely to overturn the home side's advantage.

Head-to-Head

The last five meetings have produced mixed results, but the most recent 4‑3 Lech win in March 2026 shows they can outscore Raków, reinforcing the home win outlook.
