Zaglebie Lubin have collected 1.80 PPG across their last 10 games: 5W 3D 2L. Last five: W W W D W. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 0.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.

With a balanced win record and just 1.8 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Slask Wroclaw 57% versus Zaglebie Lubin 43%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Slask Wroclaw 40% | Zaglebie Lubin 46%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Slask Wroclaw 1.40 xG and Zaglebie Lubin 1.24 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: Slask Wroclaw attack 1.051 / defence 1.066 | Zaglebie Lubin attack 1.138 / defence 0.914. League average goals — home 1.460 / away 1.023. Data: built from Slask Wroclaw's last 35 games and Zaglebie Lubin's last 35. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Slask Wroclaw 40% | Draw 27% | Zaglebie Lubin 33%. Fair-value odds: Slask Wroclaw 2.49 | Draw 3.70 | Zaglebie Lubin 3.05. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS Yes probability 54% | Total xG 2.64. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.64 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 54% 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 Slask Wroclaw at 40% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Zaglebie Lubin (1.80 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Slask Wroclaw if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.64 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 51% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by the H2H data averaging 1.8 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 54% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Slask Wroclaw 60% (last 10 home games) | Zaglebie Lubin 50% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Slask Wroclaw 35 games, Zaglebie Lubin 35) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
