Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Stal Mielec 1.50 xG and Motor Lublin 0.97 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: Stal Mielec attack 0.810 / defence 1.015 | Motor Lublin attack 0.947 / defence 1.228. League average goals — home 1.509 / away 1.009. Motor Lublin bring a strong defensive rating of 1.228 — this is suppressing Stal Mielec's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 41 Stal Mielec games / 7 Motor Lublin games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Stal Mielec 50% | Draw 26% | Motor Lublin 24%. Fair-value odds: Stal Mielec 2.00 | Draw 3.85 | Motor Lublin 4.17. Stal Mielec hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
