Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 2.00 conceded. However, 2.00 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.

Head to Head

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gornik Zabrze 1.38 xG and Górnik Łęczna 0.90 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 0.942 / defence 1.175 | Górnik Łęczna attack 0.617 / defence 1.398. League average goals — home 1.045 / away 1.238. Górnik Łęczna bring a strong defensive rating of 1.398 — this is suppressing Gornik Zabrze's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 32 Gornik Zabrze games / 32 Górnik Łęczna games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Gornik Zabrze 47% | Draw 30% | Górnik Łęczna 23%. Fair-value odds: Gornik Zabrze 2.13 | Draw 3.33 | Górnik Łęczna 4.35. Gornik Zabrze hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (30%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS probability 45% | Total xG 2.27. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.27 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Gornik Zabrze as the most likely outcome at 47% — moderate model lean. With a 30% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Gornik Zabrze offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.27 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 40% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 45% on No. This conflicts with form data: Gornik Zabrze 70% | Górnik Łęczna 50% from recent games — a notable divergence.
