Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Korona Kielce 0.95 xG and Gornik Zabrze 1.21 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: Korona Kielce attack 0.794 / defence 1.028 | Gornik Zabrze attack 0.974 / defence 0.810. League average goals — home 1.470 / away 1.211.
