Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Puszcza Niepołomice 1.65 xG and Zaglebie Lubin 1.28 xG.

Underlying strength ratings: Puszcza Niepołomice attack 0.974 / defence 1.139 | Zaglebie Lubin attack 0.923 / defence 1.222. League average goals — home 1.386 / away 1.218.

Result probabilities: Puszcza Niepołomice 44% | Draw 29% | Zaglebie Lubin 27%. Fair-value odds: Puszcza Niepołomice 2.29 | Draw 3.45 | Zaglebie Lubin 3.66. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS Yes probability 61% | Total xG 2.93. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.93 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% — both xG figures (1.65 / 1.28) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Puszcza Niepołomice 70% (last 10 home games) | Zaglebie Lubin 40% (last 10 away games).
