From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Piast Gliwice 52% and Puszcza Niepołomice 74% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data.

There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Piast Gliwice surrender their half-time lead 75% of the time, while Puszcza Niepołomice have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 50% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle. Note also that Puszcza Niepołomice surrender HT leads in 71% of cases while Piast Gliwice recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 40% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Piast Gliwice 1.78 xG and Puszcza Niepołomice 1.28 xG.

Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.06 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (1.78 / 1.28) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
