Lars's Verdict

Strong
Wisla Krakow to win Lost Solid lean Strong · Higher xG

The model rates Wisla's win probability at 49.3% versus 29.0% for Szczecin, reflecting their higher expected goals and recent attacking form.

Show the maths
The model assigns Wisla 2.0 expected goals compared with Szczecin's 1.5, a 0.5 xG advantage. Converting that gap into win probabilities yields 49.3% for Wisla and 29.0% for Szczecin, with the remainder as a draw. The sizable xG lead drives the model's confidence in Wisla's win chance, making it the clearest market signal.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 67.2% model probability

With Pogon Szczecin averaging 1.5 expected goals and Wisla Krakow averaging 2.0, the model gives a 67.2% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 32.8% 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 1.5, Wisla Krakow 2.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 67.2% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 32.8% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 67.9% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.5 (Pogon Szczecin 1.5 + Wisla Krakow 2.0) 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 1.5 + Wisla Krakow 2.0 = 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 29.0%, the draw at 21.6%, and Wisla Krakow at 49.3% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.1% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Pogon Szczecin

DLWW

Szczecin's recent five-game stretch reads D‑L‑W‑W, highlighted by a 2‑0 away win over Cracovia and a 3‑1 home victory against Motor Lublin. Those two wins show they can score multiple goals, but the earlier defeat and draw underscore inconsistency, which weakens their case for a win here.

Wisla Krakow

WLWL

Wisla's last five results are W‑L‑W‑L, including a 2‑1 home win over GKS Katowice and a 2‑1 home victory versus Wisla Plock. The alternating pattern shows they can find the net, yet the recent 1‑2 loss away at Gornik Zabrze reveals defensive vulnerability, reinforcing the expectation of a win but also a likely goal‑rich game.

Head-to-Head

In the five most recent meetings, Wisla have won twice (2024‑05‑02, 2021‑02‑19) and lost twice, with one 3‑3 draw in 2025, indicating a fairly even rivalry but with Wisla's recent win in 2024 supporting the pick.
