Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Cracovia Krakow 1.58 xG and Jagiellonia 1.46 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: Cracovia Krakow attack 1.025 / defence 0.950 | Jagiellonia attack 1.156 / defence 1.003. League average goals — home 1.539 / away 1.332. Data: 45 Cracovia Krakow games / 43 Jagiellonia games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Cracovia Krakow 37% | Draw 31% | Jagiellonia 32%. Fair-value odds: Cracovia Krakow 2.70 | Draw 3.23 | Jagiellonia 3.12. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 64% | Total xG 3.04. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.04 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 64% reflects that both xG figures (1.58 / 1.46) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Cracovia Krakow at 37% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Cracovia Krakow if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.04 combined xG gives a 59% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.3 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 64%. Form rates corroborate: Cracovia Krakow 70% | Jagiellonia 50% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
