Lars's Verdict

Match in progress

Pogon Szczecin vs Wieczysta Kraków

Strong

Both teams to score - Yes Strong lean Strong · High BTTS probability

The model's 68.2% BTTS probability, combined with Szczecin's 1.7 xG and Kraków's 1.8 xG, makes a double‑chance outcome the most likely.

Show the maths

Szczecin's expected goals of 1.7 versus Kraków's 1.8 give a combined xG of 3.5, well above the 2.5 threshold that typically yields BTTS outcomes. The model translates that combined threat into a 68.2% probability for both sides to score. Additionally, Kraków's away goals‑against average of 2.5 suggests they concede regularly, while Szczecin's home goals‑against of 1.3 still leaves room for a goal, reinforcing the BTTS outlook.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes 68.2% model probability

With Pogon Szczecin averaging 1.7 expected goals and Wieczysta Kraków averaging 1.8, the model gives a 68.2% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 31.8% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Pogon Szczecin 1.7, Wieczysta Kraków 1.8) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 68.2% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 31.8% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals 67.9% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.5 (Pogon Szczecin 1.7 + Wieczysta Kraków 1.8) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 67.9% chance against 32.1% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Pogon Szczecin 1.7 + Wieczysta Kraków 1.8 = 3.5 combined): 67.9% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 32.1% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Pogon Szczecin at 36.8%, the draw at 22.3%, and Wieczysta Kraków at 40.9% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
