Both clubs have been inconsistent in their last five league outings, making this fixture a test of who can impose their style on the day. With Zaglebie Lubin’s solid home defence and Pogon Szczecin’s spotless away record, the game promises a tactical battle rather than a clear‑cut favorite.

Lars's Verdict

Lean
Zaglebie Lubin to win Lost Slight lean Lean · No clear edge

The home side’s 0.5 goals‑against average gives them a marginal defensive advantage, which the model translates into a slim 39.6% chance of victory.

Show the maths
The model assigns both teams an expected goal value of 2.0, so the raw scoring probabilities are identical. To break the tie, the algorithm adjusts for defensive metrics: Zaglebie Lubin concedes 0.5 goals per home game versus Pogon Szczecin’s zero away concessions. That slight defensive edge nudges Lubin’s win probability to 39.6%, matching the away win probability but leaving a modest edge over the 20.7% draw chance.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 74.7% model probability

With Zaglebie Lubin averaging 2.0 expected goals and Pogon Szczecin averaging 2.0, the model gives a 74.7% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 25.3% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Zaglebie Lubin 2.0, Pogon Szczecin 2.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 74.7% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 25.3% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Lost 76.1% model probability

Combined expected goals of 4.0 (Zaglebie Lubin 2.0 + Pogon Szczecin 2.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 76.1% chance against 23.9% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Zaglebie Lubin 2.0 + Pogon Szczecin 2.0 = 4.0 combined): 76.1% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 23.9% finishing with 2 or fewer.
