H2H Record

The H2H picture is flat: the 4 H2H matches we hold have produced 1 wins for Pogon Szczecin, 0 for Piast Gliwice and 3 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here.

The 4 H2H matches in our data have been tight, averaging just 1.0 goals per game — a meaningful input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent of those, on 20 Oct 2023, ended Pogon Szczecin 0–0 Piast Gliwice — a draw.

With a balanced win record and just 1.0 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

In-Play Profile

Pogon Szczecin in-play tendencies (last 62 games, 31 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 90% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 84% of the time; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 46%; BTTS occurs in 64% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 71% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 37%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Pogon Szczecin 56% versus Piast Gliwice 45%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Pogon Szczecin 58% | Piast Gliwice 32%). Note also that Piast Gliwice surrender HT leads in 27% of cases while Pogon Szczecin recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 46% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Pogon Szczecin 2.43 xG and Piast Gliwice 1.03 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: Pogon Szczecin attack 1.462 / defence 1.184 | Piast Gliwice attack 0.818 / defence 1.149. League average goals — home 1.446 / away 1.066. Pogon Szczecin carry an above-average attack rating of 1.462 — their 2.43 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from Pogon Szczecin's last 62 games and Piast Gliwice's last 62.

Result probabilities: Pogon Szczecin 67% | Draw 20% | Piast Gliwice 13%. Fair-value odds: Pogon Szczecin 1.50 | Draw 4.92 | Piast Gliwice 7.72. The model has a clear lean to Pogon Szczecin (67%) — a 47pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS Yes probability 60% | Total xG 3.46. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.46 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 60% — both xG figures (2.43 / 1.03) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Pogon Szczecin as the most likely outcome at 67% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.46 combined xG gives a 67% probability to Over 2.5 — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Pogon Szczecin's last 10 home games and Piast Gliwice's last 10 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging only 1.0 goals per game across 4 H2H matches points the other way.

Poisson assigns a 60% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Pogon Szczecin 70% (last 10 home games) | Piast Gliwice 50% (last 10 away games).
