Radomiak RadomCounter-attacks & crossesAnna Karlsson · · A data-driven preview · How the predictions work
TEXT: The clash between Radomiak Radom and KS Cracovia is set to unfold with an intriguing tactical symmetry. Both teams favor counter-attacking play, relying heavily on crosses. This shared style hints at a game that could see quick transitions and aerial duels. Despite Radomiak's impressive head-to-head record since 2023, having never lost to Cracovia in their four encounters, the visitors come in as the side currently in better form, both statistically and in the standings.
Cracovia's model probability to win stands at 42%, suggesting a slight edge over Radomiak's 32%. With expected goals (xG) of 1.53 to Radomiak's 1.34, Cracovia's attacking potential is evident. Importantly, the visitors also boast a more solid defensive unit, allowing only 1.2 xGA per match compared to Radomiak's concerning 2.0. This defensive frailty could be where Cracovia finds the breakthrough, especially given Radomiak's counter-attacking setup which might leave gaps in their already vulnerable backline.
The most likely scorelines reflect a tight contest, with 1-1 at 12% and 1-2 at 9%. Yet, the over 2.5 goals probability of 55% speaks to the potential for more scoring, albeit tempered by the rain forecast, a factor known to dampen offensive output. Meanwhile, both teams to score comes in at a solid 58%, aligning with the expected back-and-forth nature of the game.
While Radomiak's unbeaten streak in this matchup carries weight, the numbers suggest that Cracovia might finally tip the scales in their favor. A 2-1 victory for the visitors is a plausible outcome, leaning towards an over 2.5 goals scenario.
The verdict on the pre-built bet builders for this match, priced against the model’s score matrix before kickoff. Graded on the 90-minute result.

The same rules as the bookmakers’ builders: legs that contradict or already follow from your slip cannot be combined — for example correct score 2–1 with under 2.5 goals. The difference is that we don’t look the rules up in a table; we compute them straight from the score matrix.
