Trading Patterns

Slask Wroclaw in-play and half-time data (33 games, 16 at home): they score before half-time in 56% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 44% of games (home games).

Gornik Zabrze in-play and half-time data (33 games, 16 at away): they score before half-time in 88% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 62% of the time; BTTS occurs in 81% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 75% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 42%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Slask Wroclaw 67% and Gornik Zabrze 70% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Slask Wroclaw 48% | Gornik Zabrze 64%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Slask Wroclaw 1.25 xG and Gornik Zabrze 1.78 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: Slask Wroclaw attack 0.659 / defence 1.268 | Gornik Zabrze attack 1.119 / defence 1.760. League average goals — home 1.079 / away 1.257. Slask Wroclaw's attack strength of 0.659 is below the league average — the 1.25 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Gornik Zabrze bring a strong defensive rating of 1.760 — this is suppressing Slask Wroclaw's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 33 Slask Wroclaw games / 33 Gornik Zabrze games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Slask Wroclaw 26% | Draw 25% | Gornik Zabrze 49%. Fair-value odds: Slask Wroclaw 3.85 | Draw 4.00 | Gornik Zabrze 2.04. Gornik Zabrze hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS probability 60% | Total xG 3.03. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.03 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% reflects that both xG figures (1.25 / 1.78) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Gornik Zabrze as the most likely outcome at 49% — moderate model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Gornik Zabrze offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.03 combined xG gives a 58% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 60% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Slask Wroclaw 50% | Gornik Zabrze 90% BTTS from recent games.
