Both clubs arrive with contrasting recent runs – Raków has lost five straight, whereas Zaglebie has steadied after a win with three draws. Their head‑to‑head record is erratic, but low‑scoring results dominate recent meetings.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
Under 2.5 goals Strong lean Strong · Defensive trend

The model assigns a 67.7% probability to the total remaining under 2.5, making the under the clear favorite.

Show the maths
Raków’s expected 1.3 goals plus Zaglebie’s 0.7 yields a combined 2.0 expected goals, already below the 2.5 threshold. The model’s probability distribution places 67.7% of outcomes under 2.5, driven by the low-scoring top scorelines. This gap between the combined xG (2.0) and the 2.5 mark translates into a strong confidence for the under pick.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) 63.4% model probability

With Raków Częstochowa averaging 1.3 expected goals and Zaglebie Lubin averaging 0.7, the model gives a 63.4% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 36.6% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Raków Częstochowa 1.3, Zaglebie Lubin 0.7) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 36.6% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 63.4% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals 67.7% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.0 (Raków Częstochowa 1.3 + Zaglebie Lubin 0.7) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 67.7% chance against 32.3% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Raków Częstochowa 1.3 + Zaglebie Lubin 0.7 = 2.0 combined): 32.3% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 67.7% 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 51.0%, the draw at 29.0%, and Zaglebie Lubin at 20.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 17.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Raków Częstochowa

LLLLL

Raków’s five‑game losing streak includes a 2‑5 home defeat to Jagiellonia and a 1‑2 loss to Górnik Zabrze, both showing they concede heavily while scoring little. These results underline a pattern of limited goal output, supporting the under 2.5 goals pick.

Zaglebie Lubin

LWDDD

Zaglebie’s recent run features a 2‑1 home win over Śląsk and three consecutive draws (0‑0, 0‑0, 1‑1), each with low scorelines. The absence of multiple goals in their last five matches reinforces the expectation of a tight, low‑scoring game.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings, three ended with three or fewer goals (0‑0, 0‑1, 0‑2), indicating a historical tendency toward low‑scoring affairs, which aligns with the under pick.
