Wisla Krakow v Wieczysta Kraków — prediction, stats and goal analysis

Ekstraklasa · Saturday, 29 August 2026. Final score 2–0 (half-time 0–0). Rebuilt from the season as it stood that morning, our rating would have been 60% for over 2.5 goals. This match is older than our frozen ratings ledger, which keeps 30 days, so that figure is a reconstruction from pre-match data rather than a number we published at the time — a distinction worth making, because only the frozen ones prove what we actually said beforehand.

Our ratings for this match

The result model puts Wisla Krakow at 47%, the draw at 23% and Wieczysta Kraków at 30%, from expected goals of 1.86 and 1.45.

How we got this number

The league sets the starting point. Ekstraklasa has produced over 2.5 goals in 53% of its matches, and that is where a team with no record of its own would sit.

Each side's own record. Wisla Krakow have 5 in 5 this season (2 of 2 at home), Wieczysta Kraków 4 in 4 (3 of 3 away). Those records are pulled toward the league rate with the weight of about 24 matches — enough that two or three unusual games cannot swing a rating — giving 61% and 60%.

The mix. Weighted 40% home side, 40% away side and 20% league — the split that beat every alternative across 30,582 matches of testing — that gives 59%.

Goal expectation. Separately a Poisson model built from attack and defence strength — using real expected-goals data where the league has it — puts this match at 64%, from expected goals of 1.86 for Wisla Krakow and 1.45 for Wieczysta Kraków. Folding in 30% of that view gives 60%.

This breakdown is generated from the same inputs the rating uses, so it cannot describe a calculation we did not perform. The full model is set out in the methodology.
