Jean Carlos is currently Raków Częstochowa's top assist provider in the 2026/2027 Ekstraklasa season. Statistics published by Google this week show the Brazilian player has registered one assist with an expected assists (xA) metric of 0.5. The team from Częstochowa finds itself in a difficult league position, sitting 18th in the table with zero points after three consecutive losses.
Data analysis from Google indicates Jean Carlos is a key creative force in manager Dawid Szwarga's team. His xA of 0.5 suggests the quality of his passes leading to shots is at a decent level. The second player in the club with one assist is Mahir Emreli. However, the striker from Azerbaijan has a much lower expected assists metric of just 0.1. This shows a difference in the nature and quality of chances created by both players.
Raków has scored only three goals this season while conceding six. The -3 goal difference reflects the team's recent struggles. The squad is a full 11 points behind league leaders Legia Warszawa. The team's current statistics are available on our stats page.
The Google report also recalls the long journey the Częstochowa club has undertaken. The data goes back to the 2013/2014 season when Raków was still playing in the II liga. Over the years, the team systematically progressed through the I liga to the Ekstraklasa, where it has remained since the 2019/2020 season. In recent years, the club has also regularly competed in European competitions, which required players to perform at a higher creative level.
In the 2023/2024 season, Raków played in the Europa League and Champions League qualifiers. In subsequent years, the team participated in the Conference League and its qualifying rounds. Experience gained in these competitions should help players handle pressure in the domestic league. The full team roster can be checked on the squad page.
Zero points after three matchdays is the worst possible start to the season. To change this, Raków must find a way to increase its attacking efficiency. The assists from Jean Carlos and Emreli are a glimmer of hope, but more such actions are needed. Better use of possession and creating a greater number of clear goal-scoring opportunities will be key.
The next chance for improvement comes on November 21, when Raków Częstochowa faces Widzew Łódź at home. The opponent currently occupies 9th place in the table. A match in the home conditions of the Stadion Miejski in Częstochowa could be a turning point for a team desperately needing its first points this season.
