Lars's Verdict

Lean

Pogoń Szczecin to win Won Slight lean Lean · No edge

The 3.71 price aligns with a 27% implied probability, which matches the limited data available – there is no clear edge to exploit.

Show the maths

Pogoń Szczecin's odds of 3.71 imply an implied probability of 1 ÷ 3.71 ≈ 27%. Our internal model, lacking specific xG or form inputs, also values the upset at roughly the same 27% level. Because the model and market probabilities coincide, the edge is effectively zero, leaving no value to be taken.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Cracovia Kraków averaging 1.35 expected goals and Pogoń Szczecin averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Cracovia Kraków 1.35, Pogoń Szczecin 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Lost 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Cracovia Kraków 1.35 + Pogoń Szczecin 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Cracovia Kraków 1.35 + Pogoń Szczecin 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Cracovia Kraków at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Pogoń Szczecin at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
