Both sides arrive with recent form that reflects their current rhythms: Raków have mixed results in five league games (WWDWD) while Hajduk have been prolific, posting a 5‑2 win away at FK Zalgiris Vilnius and a 4‑0 home victory over the same opponent. The fixture pits Raków’s modest scoring average against Hajduk’s fire‑power, setting the stage for a one‑sided encounter.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong
HNK Hajduk Split to win Won Strong lean Strong · High win probability

The model rates an 81.9 % chance of a Hajduk victory, driven by their 5.0 expected goals versus Raków’s 1.5 and a recent 5‑2 away performance that underlines their scoring potency.

Show the maths
The model’s match‑result odds give Hajduk an 81.9 % win probability, far exceeding Raków’s 5.0 % and the 6.3 % draw chance. This probability is anchored in the expected‑goals differential: Hajduk’s 5.0 xG is more than three times Raków’s 1.5, indicating a dominant attacking outlook. The recent 5‑2 away win over Zalgiris, combined with a 2‑2 draw against Raków, reinforces the statistical edge, translating directly into the high win probability shown by the model.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 71.9% model probability

With Raków Częstochowa averaging 1.5 expected goals and HNK Hajduk Split averaging 5.0, the model gives a 71.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 28.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Raków Częstochowa 1.5, HNK Hajduk Split 5.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 71.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 28.1% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 88.9% model probability

Combined expected goals of 6.5 (Raków Częstochowa 1.5 + HNK Hajduk Split 5.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 88.9% chance against 11.1% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Raków Częstochowa 1.5 + HNK Hajduk Split 5.0 = 6.5 combined): 88.9% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 11.1% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Raków Częstochowa at 5.0%, the draw at 6.3%, and HNK Hajduk Split at 81.9% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-4 at 5.9% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Raków Częstochowa

WWDWD

Raków’s five‑game run includes a 3‑1 home win over Valletta FC and a 4‑0 away win over the same side, but also a 0‑0 home draw with Hammarby and a 2‑2 away draw with Hajduk. The mix of wins and draws, with only one loss, shows they can hold opponents but lack the firepower to outscore a team averaging five goals per game, limiting their chance of securing a win here.

HNK Hajduk Split

WWD

Hajduk’s recent form features a 5‑2 away win at FK Zalgiris Vilnius and a 4‑0 home victory over the same club, alongside a 2‑2 home draw with Raków. These results demonstrate a consistent ability to score heavily, especially on the road, supporting the expectation that they will dominate the scoring chart in this fixture.

Head-to-Head

The last head‑to‑head meeting on 20 August 2026 ended 2‑2, a high‑scoring draw that mirrors the current expected‑goals disparity and reinforces the likelihood of an away win for Hajduk.
