Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Ruch Chorzów 0.91 xG and Piast Gliwice 1.22 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: Ruch Chorzów attack 0.677 / defence 1.075 | Piast Gliwice attack 0.934 / defence 0.978. League average goals — home 1.381 / away 1.213. Ruch Chorzów's attack strength of 0.677 is below the league average — the 0.91 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 22 Ruch Chorzów games / 55 Piast Gliwice games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Ruch Chorzów 26% | Draw 33% | Piast Gliwice 41%. Fair-value odds: Ruch Chorzów 3.85 | Draw 3.03 | Piast Gliwice 2.44. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 33% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 36% | BTTS probability 44% | Total xG 2.13. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 64% — total xG of 2.13 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 44% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Piast Gliwice as the most likely outcome at 41% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 33% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Piast Gliwice if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.13 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 36% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 44% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Ruch Chorzów 50% | Piast Gliwice 60%.
