Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Pogon Szczecin 1.90 xG and Cracovia Krakow 1.72 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: Pogon Szczecin attack 1.201 / defence 1.201 | Cracovia Krakow attack 1.182 / defence 0.944. League average goals — home 1.674 / away 1.209. Data: 46 Pogon Szczecin games / 45 Cracovia Krakow games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Pogon Szczecin 42% | Draw 23% | Cracovia Krakow 35%. Fair-value odds: Pogon Szczecin 2.38 | Draw 4.35 | Cracovia Krakow 2.86. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 23% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS probability 70% | Total xG 3.62. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 70% — a total xG of 3.62 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 70% reflects that both xG figures (1.90 / 1.72) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

Pogon Szczecin dominate the H2H record, yet Cracovia Krakow are the in-form side right now — historical edge versus current momentum creates a genuine dilemma.

On the Poisson output, Pogon Szczecin are the pick at 42% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Cracovia Krakow (1.80 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Pogon Szczecin if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.62 combined xG gives a 70% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.9 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 70%. Form rates corroborate: Pogon Szczecin 50% | Cracovia Krakow 70% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 35% 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.
