Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Wisla Krakow 1.55 xG and Lech Poznan 1.17 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: Wisla Krakow attack 1.021 / defence 0.800 | Lech Poznan attack 1.124 / defence 0.990. League average goals — home 1.537 / away 1.306. Data: 9 Wisla Krakow games / 42 Lech Poznan games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Wisla Krakow 43% | Draw 32% | Lech Poznan 25%. Fair-value odds: Wisla Krakow 2.33 | Draw 3.12 | Lech Poznan 4.00. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 32% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS probability 58% | Total xG 2.73. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 51%/49% — the total xG of 2.73 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 58% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
