H2H History

Neither side has dominated the 5 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Lechia Gdansk, 1 for Slask Wroclaw and 3 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral.

Trading

Lechia Gdansk half-time and goal-timing data (last 17 games, 8 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 38% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; of the 4 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 75%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 38% of games (home games).

Slask Wroclaw half-time and goal-timing data (last 17 games, 8 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 57% of the time; of the 6 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); they fail to score in 47% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Lechia Gdansk 65% versus Slask Wroclaw 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Lechia Gdansk 53% | Slask Wroclaw 41%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Lechia Gdansk surrender their half-time lead 75% of the time, while Slask Wroclaw have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 33% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lechia Gdansk 0.94 xG and Slask Wroclaw 1.31 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: Lechia Gdansk attack 0.577 / defence 1.267 | Slask Wroclaw attack 0.844 / defence 1.101. League average goals — home 1.475 / away 1.224. Lechia Gdansk's attack rating of 0.577 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.94. Lechia Gdansk's defence rating of 1.267 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Slask Wroclaw's projected output up. Data: built from Lechia Gdansk's last 17 games and Slask Wroclaw's last 50.

Result probabilities: Lechia Gdansk 27% | Draw 28% | Slask Wroclaw 45%. Fair-value odds: Lechia Gdansk 3.74 | Draw 3.56 | Slask Wroclaw 2.21. Slask Wroclaw hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 39% | BTTS Yes probability 44% | Total xG 2.25. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.25 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 56% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Slask Wroclaw at 45% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Slask Wroclaw if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 2.25 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 61% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by the H2H data averaging 1.8 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 56% on No. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Lechia Gdansk 50% (last 8 home games) | Slask Wroclaw 50% (last 10 away games).
