Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Slask Wroclaw 1.19 xG and Gornik Zabrze 1.91 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: Slask Wroclaw attack 0.868 / defence 1.231 | Gornik Zabrze attack 1.307 / defence 1.018. League average goals — home 1.343 / away 1.190. Gornik Zabrze have an above-average attack strength of 1.307 — the away xG of 1.91 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 3.10. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.10 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
