Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Cracovia Krakow 1.24 xG and Korona Kielce 1.34 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: Cracovia Krakow attack 0.967 / defence 1.072 | Korona Kielce attack 0.962 / defence 0.833. League average goals — home 1.543 / away 1.303. Data: 40 Cracovia Krakow games / 39 Korona Kielce games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Cracovia Krakow 31% | Draw 33% | Korona Kielce 36%. Fair-value odds: Cracovia Krakow 3.23 | Draw 3.03 | Korona Kielce 2.78. 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 48% | BTTS probability 56% | Total xG 2.59. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.59 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 56% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
