Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Raków Częstochowa 1.39 xG and Piast Gliwice 1.13 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: Raków Częstochowa attack 0.959 / defence 0.935 | Piast Gliwice attack 0.994 / defence 0.899. League average goals — home 1.609 / away 1.213. Data: 48 Raków Częstochowa games / 47 Piast Gliwice games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Raków Częstochowa 41% | Draw 31% | Piast Gliwice 28%. Fair-value odds: Raków Częstochowa 2.44 | Draw 3.23 | Piast Gliwice 3.57. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 2.51. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.51 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
