Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects GKS Katowice 1.77 xG and Lechia Gdansk 1.54 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 1.063 / defence 0.943 | Lechia Gdansk attack 1.389 / defence 1.188. League average goals — home 1.402 / away 1.179. Lechia Gdansk have an above-average attack rating of 1.389, which lifts their away xG to 1.54. Data: built from GKS Katowice's last 57 games and Lechia Gdansk's last 58.

Result probabilities: GKS Katowice 42% | Draw 25% | Lechia Gdansk 33%. Fair-value odds: GKS Katowice 2.37 | Draw 4.01 | Lechia Gdansk 3.05. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS Yes probability 66% | Total xG 3.31. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.31 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 66% — both xG figures (1.77 / 1.54) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is GKS Katowice at 42% — marginal model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on GKS Katowice offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.31 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 64% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (GKS Katowice's last 10 home games and Lechia Gdansk's last 10 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 3 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 66%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: GKS Katowice 50% (last 10 home games) | Lechia Gdansk 80% (last 10 away games).
