Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 1 H2H match, Ruch Chorzów have won 0, Warta Poznań 0, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Ruch Chorzów 1.15 xG and Warta Poznań 1.51 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 0.742 / defence 1.199 | Warta Poznań attack 1.011 / defence 1.066. League average goals — home 1.447 / away 1.247. Ruch Chorzów's attack rating of 0.742 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.15. Data: built from Ruch Chorzów's last 20 games and Warta Poznań's last 54.

Result probabilities: Ruch Chorzów 29% | Draw 26% | Warta Poznań 45%. Fair-value odds: Ruch Chorzów 3.51 | Draw 3.84 | Warta Poznań 2.20. Warta Poznań hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS Yes probability 53% | Total xG 2.66. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.66 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 53% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Warta Poznań offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.66 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 50% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 53% on Yes. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Ruch Chorzów 50% (last 10 home games) | Warta Poznań 50% (last 10 away games).
