Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gornik Zabrze 2.01 xG and Motor Lublin 1.47 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: Gornik Zabrze attack 1.139 / defence 1.122 | Motor Lublin attack 1.008 / defence 1.143. League average goals — home 1.543 / away 1.303. Data: 38 Gornik Zabrze games / 40 Motor Lublin games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Gornik Zabrze 48% | Draw 26% | Motor Lublin 26%. Fair-value odds: Gornik Zabrze 2.08 | Draw 3.85 | Motor Lublin 3.85. Gornik Zabrze hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 68% | BTTS probability 69% | Total xG 3.48. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 68% — a total xG of 3.48 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 69% reflects that both xG figures (2.01 / 1.47) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Gornik Zabrze at 48% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 26% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Gornik Zabrze if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 3.48 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 68% — marginal — conflicting signals confidence, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.5 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 69% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Gornik Zabrze 50% | Motor Lublin 70% BTTS from recent games.
