Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects GKS Katowice 1.60 xG and Lechia Gdansk 1.33 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: GKS Katowice attack 0.836 / defence 1.063 | Lechia Gdansk attack 1.042 / defence 1.317. League average goals — home 1.454 / away 1.206. Lechia Gdansk bring a strong defensive rating of 1.317 — this is suppressing GKS Katowice's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 16 GKS Katowice games / 16 Lechia Gdansk games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: GKS Katowice 44% | Draw 24% | Lechia Gdansk 32%. Fair-value odds: GKS Katowice 2.27 | Draw 4.17 | Lechia Gdansk 3.12. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 24% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 2.94. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.94 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is GKS Katowice at 44% — marginal model lean. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on GKS Katowice offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. Form rates corroborate: GKS Katowice 62% | Lechia Gdansk 88% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
