Both sides come into the fixture on divergent trajectories: Wisła Płock’s recent form has been uneven, while Lech Poznań have built momentum with two wins out of their last five league outings. The contrast in recent results sets the stage for a decisive encounter in Warsaw.

Solid
Lech Poznan to win Void Solid lean Solid · Higher win prob

Lech’s 2.0 expected goals and a 52.5% win probability outweigh Wisła Płock’s 1.35 xG, making the visitors the clear favorite.

Show the maths
The model assigns Wisła Płock 1.35 expected goals versus Lech Poznań’s 2.0, creating a goal‑expectancy gap of 0.65. That gap lifts Lech’s win probability to 52.5% while Wisła sits at 25.8%, leaving a 21.7% draw chance. Because the win probability exceeds the draw and under‑dog odds, the model flags Lech Poznań to win as the most probable outcome.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes 64.0% model probability

With Wisla Plock averaging 1.35 expected goals and Lech Poznan averaging 2.0, the model gives a 64.0% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 36.0% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Wisla Plock 1.35, Lech Poznan 2.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 64.0% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 36.0% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals 65.0% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.4 (Wisla Plock 1.35 + Lech Poznan 2.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 65.0% chance against 35.0% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Wisla Plock 1.35 + Lech Poznan 2.0 = 3.4 combined): 65.0% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 35.0% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Wisla Plock at 25.8%, the draw at 21.7%, and Lech Poznan at 52.5% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Wisla Plock

WDL

Wisła Płock’s last five league results read W‑D‑L, highlighted by a 2‑1 away win over Raków Częstochowa and a 0‑0 home draw against Widzew Łódź. The recent loss 1‑2 at Wisła Kraków shows they can concede, reinforcing the modest 1.35 xG and supporting a lower win chance for the home side.

Lech Poznan

DDWW

Lech Poznań’s form of D‑D‑W‑W includes a 2‑1 away win over Wieczysta Kraków and a dominant 3‑0 home victory versus Piast Gliwice. Those back‑to‑back wins lift their confidence and align with the 2.0 expected goals, bolstering the case for a Lech win.

Head-to-Head

Recent head‑to‑head shows a 2‑2 draw in May 2026 and a 0‑0 stalemate in late 2025, but the earlier 1‑3 Wisła win in 2022 is an outlier; the recent draws suggest a close contest but do not outweigh Lech’s current form advantage.
