Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Zaglebie Lubin have gone 5W 2D 3L — a 1.70 PPG return. Last five: L W L W L. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Zaglebie Lubin's home record over their last 10 home games: 6W 2D 2L (2.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 0.60 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.

Warta Poznań — last 10 games: 2W 4D 4L — 1.00 PPG. Last five: D L D W L. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

Warta Poznań away from home: 2W 2D 6L from their last 10 away games — 0.80 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.

Zaglebie Lubin are in the better shape of the two on recent form — 0.70 PPG ahead (1.70 vs 1.00). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.

On the goals front, neither side scores or concedes freely enough to make BTTS Yes the call. Zaglebie Lubin's 30% BTTS rate and Warta Poznań's 30% (from Zaglebie Lubin's last 10 home games and Warta Poznań's last 10 away games) are both low — BTTS No is the form-backed angle.

H2H

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 4 H2H matches, Zaglebie Lubin have won 1, Warta Poznań 1, with 2 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.

The 4 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 31 Mar 2023, ended Zaglebie Lubin 0–0 Warta Poznań — a draw.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading Patterns

Zaglebie Lubin in-play and half-time data (last 42 games, 20 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 50% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; of the 9 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; BTTS occurs in 45% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 30% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.

Warta Poznań in-play and half-time data (last 42 games, 20 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; BTTS occurs in 30% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 30% of games (away games); they fail to score in 38% of games.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Zaglebie Lubin 1.31 xG and Warta Poznań 0.96 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: Zaglebie Lubin attack 0.908 / defence 0.806 | Warta Poznań attack 1.198 / defence 1.044. League average goals — home 1.380 / away 0.997. Data: built from Zaglebie Lubin's last 42 games and Warta Poznań's last 42.

Result probabilities: Zaglebie Lubin 43% | Draw 31% | Warta Poznań 26%. Fair-value odds: Zaglebie Lubin 2.33 | Draw 3.20 | Warta Poznań 3.87. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS Yes probability 47% | Total xG 2.27. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.27 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 53% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Zaglebie Lubin at 43% — marginal model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Zaglebie Lubin offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.27 combined xG gives a 60% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Zaglebie Lubin's last 10 home games and Warta Poznań's last 10 away games) averaging 2.0 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 53% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Zaglebie Lubin 30% (last 10 home games) | Warta Poznań 30% (last 10 away games).
