Trading Patterns

Motor Lublin in-play and half-time data (11 games, 6 at home): they score before half-time in 50% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; when trailing at the break they recover to draw or win in 27% of cases; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 46%.

Wieczysta Kraków in-play and half-time data (11 games, 6 at away): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 100% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Motor Lublin 73% and Wieczysta Kraków 73% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Motor Lublin 64% | Wieczysta Kraków 73%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Motor Lublin 1.89 xG and Wieczysta Kraków 1.34 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: Motor Lublin attack 0.942 / defence 1.046 | Wieczysta Kraków attack 0.965 / defence 1.301. League average goals — home 1.539 / away 1.332. Wieczysta Kraków bring a strong defensive rating of 1.301 — this is suppressing Motor Lublin's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 45 Motor Lublin games / 11 Wieczysta Kraków games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Motor Lublin 47% | Draw 28% | Wieczysta Kraków 24%. Fair-value odds: Motor Lublin 2.13 | Draw 3.57 | Wieczysta Kraków 4.17. Motor Lublin hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS probability 66% | Total xG 3.23. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.23 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 66% reflects that both xG figures (1.89 / 1.34) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Motor Lublin at 47% — moderate model lean. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Motor Lublin offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 3.23 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 63% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 66% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Motor Lublin 50% | Wieczysta Kraków 71% BTTS from recent games.
