Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 45% | BTTS Yes probability 53% | Total xG 2.46. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.46 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS Yes at 53% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Gornik Zabrze as the most likely outcome at 36% — marginal model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 32% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Gornik Zabrze offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.46 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 55% — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 5 H2H matches points the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 53% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Zaglebie Lubin 50% (last 10 home games) | Gornik Zabrze 90% (last 10 away games).
