Both sides have been busy scoring in their recent league runs – Górnik has won its last two matches, while Wisła has mixed results but still found the net three times in three of its last five games. The fixture pits a solid home side against an away team that has been prolific in front of goal this season.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
Over 2.5 goals Won Strong lean Strong · high‑scoring outlook

With a combined expected goal tally of five and an 81.8% chance both sides will score, the model strongly favors a game with more than two goals.

Show the maths
The model assigns Górnik Zabrze 2.0 expected goals and Wisła Kraków 3.0 away expected goals, giving a combined xG of five. That xG total translates into an 87.1% probability for the over‑2.5 goals market. The BTTS probability of 81.8% further reinforces the likelihood of multiple scoring events, confirming the model’s confidence in a goal‑rich match.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 81.8% model probability

With Gornik Zabrze averaging 2.0 expected goals and Wisla Krakow averaging 3.0, the model gives a 81.8% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 18.2% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Gornik Zabrze 2.0, Wisla Krakow 3.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 81.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 18.2% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 87.1% model probability

Combined expected goals of 5.0 (Gornik Zabrze 2.0 + Wisla Krakow 3.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 87.1% chance against 12.9% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Gornik Zabrze 2.0 + Wisla Krakow 3.0 = 5.0 combined): 87.1% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 12.9% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Gornik Zabrze at 24.7%, the draw at 16.8%, and Wisla Krakow at 58.1% to win.

Gornik Zabrze

WW

Górnik Zabrze have won their last two league games – a 2‑1 home victory over Śląsk Wrocław and a 3‑1 away win at Radomiak Radom. Those wins, both with at least two goals scored, demonstrate a recent attacking rhythm that supports a high‑scoring outcome in this fixture.

Wisla Krakow

WLW

Wisła Kraków’s recent five‑game run includes a 2‑1 home win over GKS Katowice, a 3‑4 away loss to Piast Gliwice, and a 2‑1 home win versus Wisła Płock. Scoring three goals in the loss and two in each victory shows they are capable of finding the net even when conceding, bolstering the case for a goal‑rich game.

Head-to-Head

The latest head‑to‑head meeting on 17 Nov 2023 ended 1‑0 to Górnik, while the 10 Apr 2022 clash saw Wisła win 4‑1. The mixed results, with at least one high‑scoring game, align with the model’s expectation of multiple goals this time around.
