They are averaging 0.80 goals per game and conceding 0.80 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Defensively, conceding just 0.80 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. Zaglebie Lubin have played only a handful of Ekstraklasa games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Across all Ekstraklasa games this season, Wisla Krakow have recorded 3W 1D 2L from 6 outings — 1.67 PPG. Last five: L W L D W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.00 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 1 clean sheet from 6 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 83% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. Wisla Krakow have played only a handful of Ekstraklasa games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

They are averaging 2.00 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. Both teams have scored in 100% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.33 is notably below their overall 1.67 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Zaglebie Lubin at 1.20 PPG versus Wisla Krakow's 1.67. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

H2H Record

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Zaglebie Lubin 1.78 xG and Wisla Krakow 0.98 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: Zaglebie Lubin attack 0.873 / defence 0.717 | Wisla Krakow attack 1.046 / defence 1.324. League average goals — home 1.543 / away 1.303. Wisla Krakow bring a strong defensive rating of 1.324 — this is suppressing Zaglebie Lubin's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Zaglebie Lubin's defence rating of 0.717 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 39 Zaglebie Lubin games / 6 Wisla Krakow games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Zaglebie Lubin 54% | Draw 29% | Wisla Krakow 18%. Fair-value odds: Zaglebie Lubin 1.85 | Draw 3.45 | Wisla Krakow 5.56. Zaglebie Lubin hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 52% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 2.76. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 52%/48% — the total xG of 2.76 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
