Raków Częstochowa has suffered a disastrous start to the Ekstraklasa season, losing all of their first four matches. The club from Częstochowa sits alone at the bottom of the league table with zero points after a 2:5 home defeat to Jagiellonia Białystok.
As of 4 September 2026, Raków is in 18th place, with a record of zero wins, zero draws, and four losses. Their goal difference stands at -6, having scored five and conceded eleven. Manager Dawid Kroczek faces a huge challenge to reverse this terrible run. Przegląd Sportowy Onet noted that although the team led by Kroczek was traditionally expected to be among the favourites for the Polish championship, at this moment absolutely nothing points to that.
What does the current league table look like?
Raków Częstochowa is the only team in the league yet to earn a single point. They already trail leaders Legia Warszawa by twelve points. This gap shows the scale of the problems the team is facing at the very start of the campaign. You can follow the current league standings on our standings page.
The awful run began with defeats in the first three matchdays, and the fourth blow was a heavy home loss to Jagiellonia. The squad is also missing key defender Erick Otieno, who is currently sidelined with an injury. Details on player fitness can be found in our injuries section.
What went wrong against Jagiellonia?
The match against Jagiellonia Białystok was supposed to be a chance to stop the negative streak, but it ended in a crushing 2:5 defeat at their own stadium. Raków failed to build a solid defensive performance, resulting in conceding five goals. This loss starkly highlighted the team's weaknesses in both phases of play.
The squad couldn't effectively defend or create dangerous attacking moves for the full ninety minutes. This level of performance is far from the standards that allowed Raków to fight for the highest goals in previous years. Manager Kroczek must find a quick solution to fix a defence that has already leaked eleven goals.
What is the next step for Raków?
The next test for Raków will be an away match against the table-toppers, Legia Warszawa, scheduled for 7 November 2026. It's an extremely difficult task for a team desperately in need of points. The full schedule of matches for the coming weeks is available on our fixtures page.
Before that clash, Kroczek has time for training work and possible tactical adjustments. Restoring belief in the dressing room and finding a way to stop opponents will be key. Further defeats could definitively end any team ambitions for this season. Raków Częstochowa faces Legia Warszawa on 7 November 2026 at the stadium on Łazienkowska Street.
