Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Lost

Both clubs are from Kraków, but Cracovia have the statistical edge. Their expected goals of 1.35 versus Wieczysta’s 1.0 give them a clear advantage in a fixture where defensive solidity has been the norm.

Lars's Verdict

Strong

Cracovia Krakow to win Won Slight lean Strong · Higher win chance

The model assigns Cracovia a 44.8% chance to win versus 27.7% for Wieczysta, making the home side the clear favourite.

Show the maths

Cracovia’s expected goals of 1.35 exceed Wieczysta’s 1.0, creating a 0.35 xG advantage that feeds into the model’s win probability. The model translates that advantage into a 44.8% chance for Cracovia, compared with 27.7% for the visitors and 27.5% for a draw. Because the win probability is the highest single outcome, the model flags a Cracovia win as the most likely result.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Lost 53.2% model probability

With Cracovia Krakow averaging 1.35 expected goals and Wieczysta Kraków averaging 1.0, the model gives a 53.2% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 46.8% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Cracovia Krakow 1.35, Wieczysta Kraków 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 46.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 53.2% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Lost 58.3% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.4 (Cracovia Krakow 1.35 + Wieczysta Kraków 1.0) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 58.3% chance against 41.7% for Over.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Cracovia Krakow 1.35 + Wieczysta Kraków 1.0 = 2.4 combined): 41.7% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 58.3% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Cracovia Krakow at 44.8%, the draw at 27.5%, and Wieczysta Kraków at 27.7% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 12.9% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Cracovia Krakow

DDDLD

Cracovia’s last five league outings have been D‑D‑D‑L‑D, highlighted by a 1‑1 home draw with Korona Kielce and a 0‑0 away stalemate against Lech Poznan. The trio of draws shows they can hold opponents without scoring, reinforcing the expectation of a low‑scoring, tight game that still favours the home side.

Wieczysta Kraków

Wieczysta’s recent form reads L‑L, with a 1‑2 away loss to Radomiak Radom and a 1‑2 home defeat to Lech Poznan. Both defeats involved conceding two goals, underscoring defensive frailties that make a clean sheet unlikely against a team with a modest attacking record.

Team News (Pregame)

No notable injury concerns were on record for either side heading into this match.
