H2H Record

The fixture history tells a clear story: Lech Poznan have dominated this rivalry, winning 6 of 10 past contests while Gornik Zabrze have managed just 2 wins.

The 10 previous meetings have averaged 2.2 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 7 Feb 2026, ended 1–0 with Lech Poznan winning.

The historical record gives Lech Poznan a meaningful edge here — 6 wins from 10 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lech Poznan 1.51 xG and Gornik Zabrze 1.15 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: Lech Poznan attack 1.182 / defence 0.809 | Gornik Zabrze attack 1.112 / defence 0.835. League average goals — home 1.530 / away 1.280. Data: 39 Lech Poznan games / 39 Gornik Zabrze games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Lech Poznan 42% | Draw 33% | Gornik Zabrze 25%. Fair-value odds: Lech Poznan 2.38 | Draw 3.03 | Gornik Zabrze 4.00. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 33% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 2.66. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.66 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
