Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gornik Zabrze 1.36 xG and Slask Wroclaw 1.71 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: Gornik Zabrze attack 0.856 / defence 1.174 | Slask Wroclaw attack 1.240 / defence 1.302. League average goals — home 1.221 / away 1.172. Slask Wroclaw bring a strong defensive rating of 1.302 — this is suppressing Gornik Zabrze's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Slask Wroclaw have an above-average attack strength of 1.240 — the away xG of 1.71 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 15 Gornik Zabrze games / 16 Slask Wroclaw games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Gornik Zabrze 31% | Draw 24% | Slask Wroclaw 46%. Fair-value odds: Gornik Zabrze 3.23 | Draw 4.17 | Slask Wroclaw 2.17. Slask Wroclaw hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.07. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.07 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.36 / 1.71) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
