High-flying Rakow set to fly away with it
With 49 points from 31 games, third-placed Rakow Czestochowa have enjoyed a very good Ekstraklasa 2025-2026 campaign so far and new head coach Dawid Kroczek has done a good job to steady the ship since taking over in May 2026.
Rakow’s 3-1 defeat at home to Piast Gliwice five months ago was one of the low points of a turbulent period. Kroczek’s side have won one, drawn one and lost one of their last three away fixtures.
This Piast Gliwice vs Rakow Czestochowa preview highlights how Rakow play with a back three and two very attacking wing-backs and their style of play is all about high pressing, exploiting the wide areas and dominating possession. Piast, on the other hand, have operated in a more compact way in 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 systems with midfield control and defensive discipline their priorities.
Expect an open contest between very different systems
The clash of styles should produce a very open, end-to-end game on Sunday and that adds to our Piast Gliwice vs Rakow Czestochowa prediction that there will be goals in the game. Both sides are positive in transition and will want to control the game by scoring first - Rakow from their superior share of possession and Piast by being more compact in their system.
Piast have drawn their last two games, while Rakow have three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five, so we’re inclined to back the visitors at 2.55 to win. The home side have won six, drawn four and lost six from their 16 Ekstraklasa home matches, conceding 17 goals, and Rakow have scored 25 times on the road. In addition, our Piast Gliwice vs Rakow Czestochowa betting tips favor Rakow’s strong away form in this matchup.
Both teams to score likely
Both teams to score looks good here as each side is positive in attack and all three of their head-to-heads in the Ekstraklasa have featured goals. The Piast Gliwice vs Rakow Czestochowa prediction also points out that both sides score an average of 1.5 goals per game when Piast hosts Rakow and there is plenty of reason to believe that pattern will continue on Sunday.
German Barkovsky is Piast’s main striker with four goals in 29 league appearances and he will be their focal point in attack. But Rakow have a real star up front in Jonatan Braut Brunes, who has 15 Ekstraklasa goals in 29 appearances for the club and has scored three of their last nine. Over 2.5 goals looks good here at 1.95, but we’ll take BTTS at 1.76 as the main selection with Rakow to come away with a win.
