✍️ Match Preview

Fixture Analysis

Legia Warszawa welcome Cracovia Krakow to Stadion Wojska Polskiego in Ekstraklasa (matchday 28). Kick-off is Saturday 10 April 2027 at 17:00 UK time.

Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Legia Warszawa have gone 3W 5D 2L — a 1.40 PPG return. Last five: W D L D L. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 1.30 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

Legia Warszawa's form when playing at home: 6W 2D 2L across their last 10 home games (2.00 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.40 — Legia Warszawa are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Cracovia Krakow — last 10 games: 2W 1D 7L — 0.70 PPG. Last five: W D L L L. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 2.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.00 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.

Cracovia Krakow away from home: 0W 4D 6L from their last 10 away games — 0.40 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

On current form, Legia Warszawa have the edge — a 0.70 PPG advantage (1.40 vs 0.70) represents a meaningful gap. That momentum makes them the form-based pick, though if the outright price looks short, Draw No Bet is worth comparing.

H2H

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 10 H2H matches, Legia Warszawa have won 4, Cracovia Krakow 4, with 2 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.

The 10 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 2.9 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 17 Oct 2026, ended Legia Warszawa 1–1 Cracovia Krakow — a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 2.9 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Patterns

Legia Warszawa in-play and half-time data (last 48 games, 24 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; of the 13 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 38%; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).

Cracovia Krakow in-play and half-time data (last 48 games, 24 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 54% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 57% of the time; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 38%; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Legia Warszawa 60% versus Cracovia Krakow 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Legia Warszawa 42% | Cracovia Krakow 52%). Note also that Cracovia Krakow surrender HT leads in 38% of cases while Legia Warszawa recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 38% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Legia Warszawa 1.94 xG and Cracovia Krakow 1.14 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: Legia Warszawa attack 1.071 / defence 1.034 | Cracovia Krakow attack 0.848 / defence 1.133. League average goals — home 1.598 / away 1.304. Data: built from Legia Warszawa's last 48 games and Cracovia Krakow's last 48.

Result probabilities: Legia Warszawa 54% | Draw 25% | Cracovia Krakow 21%. Fair-value odds: Legia Warszawa 1.84 | Draw 3.96 | Cracovia Krakow 4.88. Legia Warszawa hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS Yes probability 60% | Total xG 3.08. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.08 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% — both xG figures (1.94 / 1.14) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Legia Warszawa as the most likely outcome at 54% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Legia Warszawa offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 3.08 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 60% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Legia Warszawa's last 10 home games and Cracovia Krakow's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 2.9 goals per game across 10 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 60% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Legia Warszawa 50% (last 10 home games) | Cracovia Krakow 70% (last 10 away games).
