Rakow Czestochowa

vs

Zaglebie Lubin SSA

Preview

Raków Czestochowa

• Raków are 17th after collecting 0 points from two matches, while Zagłębie are 9th with three points.
• It is difficult to make a clear case for either side being the obvious favorite in this fixture, but Raków have the sharper attacking weapons and should be edging this game even if they don't score a goal storm.
• Dawid Kroczek took charge of the club on 4 May 2026 and appears to be fashioning a more structured and possession-based Raków team that can press and dominate the half-spaces and pressure opponents high up after the loss of possession.
• They were beaten 1-2 at home by Wisła Płock, then turned on the style to brush Valletta FC aside 0-4 away from home before suffering a 2-1 away defeat to Śląsk Wrocław.

Zagłębie Lubin

• Leszek Ojrzyński took charge of Zagłębie on 13 March 2025 and looks to have developed a side that will sit in a compact back four, be well-disciplined in terms of shape and be dangerous on the counter attack.
• They were outplayed 1-0 away to Jagiellonia Białystok, before beating Piast Gliwice 2-0 at home and losing 3-1 away to Legia Warszawa.
• The tactical clash looks like it will focus on Raków's pressing style against Zagłębie's counter punching and that should be the main battle.

Head-to-Head

• Raków have scored an average of 2.5 goals per-game in their five home head-to-head meetings with Zagłębie while the visitors have averaged 1.0.
• The last meeting between the two finished 0-0, and with Raków having not won either of the last two and Zagłębie winning 1 and drawing the other, there is a feeling that the home edge is not that strong right now.

Key Players

Betting Insights

• Raków are 1.63 favorites at home with Zagłębie 5.0.
• Raków should edge it because they can brute force more of the ball and territory, but we feel the odds of the draw at 3.9 and both teams to score at 1.9 and under 2.5 goals at 1.85 have more merit, the latter being our preferred bet.
