Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gornik Zabrze 1.75 xG and Raków Częstochowa 1.31 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 1.168 / defence 0.988 | Raków Częstochowa attack 1.146 / defence 0.983. League average goals — home 1.527 / away 1.160. Data: 34 Gornik Zabrze games / 34 Raków Częstochowa games used (PrevSeason). Note: current-season sample is too small — prior-season data is carrying the calculation. Model confidence is reduced; treat probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Gornik Zabrze 47% | Draw 25% | Raków Częstochowa 28%. Fair-value odds: Gornik Zabrze 2.13 | Draw 4.00 | Raków Częstochowa 3.57. Gornik Zabrze hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.07. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.07 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.75 / 1.31) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Gornik Zabrze are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Gornik Zabrze offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.07 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 59% — marginal — conflicting signals confidence, supported by form averaging 3.3 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Gornik Zabrze 50% | Raków Częstochowa 90% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (34 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
