Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Slask Wroclaw 1.95 xG and Raków Częstochowa 1.25 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 1.208 / defence 0.852 | Raków Częstochowa attack 1.170 / defence 1.151. League average goals — home 1.399 / away 1.251.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.19. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.19 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (1.95 / 1.25) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
