Form

Cracovia Krakow (all games): 4W 4D 2L across their last 10 — 1.60 PPG. Last five: D D L L W. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches.

Jagiellonia have collected 1.90 PPG across their last 10 games: 6W 1D 3L. Last five: W L W D W. They are scoring at 1.90 per game and conceding 1.40. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.90 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.60 for Cracovia Krakow, 1.90 for Jagiellonia — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (from Cracovia Krakow's last 10 home games and Jagiellonia's last 10 away games) — Cracovia Krakow have seen both teams score in 60% of their games, Jagiellonia in 70%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

H2H Analysis

Trading

Cracovia Krakow half-time and goal-timing data (last 43 games, 21 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 57% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 42%; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 33% of games (home games); they fail to score in 30% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Cracovia Krakow 42% versus Jagiellonia 70%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Cracovia Krakow 35% | Jagiellonia 54%). Note also that Jagiellonia surrender HT leads in 46% of cases while Cracovia Krakow recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 42% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Cracovia Krakow 1.51 xG and Jagiellonia 1.28 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 0.904 / defence 1.194 | Jagiellonia attack 0.975 / defence 1.121. League average goals — home 1.491 / away 1.103. Data: built from Cracovia Krakow's last 43 games and Jagiellonia's last 43.

Result probabilities: Cracovia Krakow 41% | Draw 28% | Jagiellonia 31%. Fair-value odds: Cracovia Krakow 2.43 | Draw 3.58 | Jagiellonia 3.24. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS Yes probability 58% | Total xG 2.80. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.80 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 58% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Cracovia Krakow at 41% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Cracovia Krakow if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.80 combined xG gives a 53% probability to Over 2.5 — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Cracovia Krakow's last 10 home games and Jagiellonia's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging only 1.5 goals per game across 4 H2H matches points the other way.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 58%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Cracovia Krakow 60% (last 10 home games) | Jagiellonia 70% (last 10 away games).
