Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Gornik Zabrze 1.32 xG and Ruch Chorzów 0.79 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Gornik Zabrze attack 0.831 / defence 1.003 | Ruch Chorzów attack 0.855 / defence 1.179. League average goals — home 1.343 / away 0.925. Data: built from Gornik Zabrze's last 41 games and Ruch Chorzów's last 7.
Result probabilities: Gornik Zabrze 47% | Draw 32% | Ruch Chorzów 21%. Fair-value odds: Gornik Zabrze 2.11 | Draw 3.16 | Ruch Chorzów 4.78. Gornik Zabrze hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (32%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 35% | BTTS Yes probability 42% | Total xG 2.11. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 65% probability — total xG of 2.11 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match. BTTS No at 58% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Gornik Zabrze are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. With a 32% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Gornik Zabrze offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
Poisson projects 2.11 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 65% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Gornik Zabrze's last 10 home games and Ruch Chorzów's last 4 away games) averaging 2.2 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 58%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Gornik Zabrze 40% (last 10 home games) | Ruch Chorzów 50% (last 4 away games).
