Based on the supplied odds and recent form, the calculated win probabilities are as follows: Wieczysta Krakow win — 47%, draw — 32%, Rakow Czestochowa win — 21%. This calculation starts with the inverse of the best available odds (home 2.20, draw 2.30, away 2.75) to determine implied probabilities, then normalizes them to remove the bookmaker margin.
