| Market | Yes | No | Our call |
|---|---|---|---|

| Both teams to score | 61% | 39% | Yes |
The result model puts Lech Poznan at 72%, the draw at 16% and Wisla Krakow at 12%, from expected goals of 2.71 and 1.06.
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. Lech Poznan have 8 in 10 this season (4 of 6 at home), Wisla Krakow 6 in 11 (3 of 6 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 54%.
Last season still counts, briefly. With 10 and 11 games played this season, last season's rates are still blended in and fade out entirely by game 40 — the point at which our testing showed they stop adding accuracy. A single season is part luck, so each club's record is first pulled toward the league average by 34 games' weight. That moves the two figures to 61% and 54%.
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 57%.
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 73%, from expected goals of 2.71 for Lech Poznan and 1.06 for Wisla Krakow. Folding in 30% of that view gives 61%.
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.
| Team | Games | O2.5 | O3.5 | BTTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lech Poznan | 10 | 80% | 40% | 70% |
| Wisla Krakow | 11 | 55% | 18% | 64% |
Our numbers give this match a 74% chance of at least one goal before half-time and 37% of two or more. The Ekstraklasa rates, last season and this season combined, are 72% and 35% (this season so far: 68% with a first-half goal, from 97 games). After the break: 78% for a goal and 49% for two or more (league 79% and 48%). Lech Poznan's last 50 games had a first-half goal 78% of the time and a second-half goal 78%; Wisla Krakow's last 50, 76% and 76%. A goal in both halves: 60% (league 58%). Highest-scoring half: second 44%, first 30%, level 26% — close to the league's usual split, because team form says little about which half is busier. Team form says less about a single half than about a full match, so these numbers stay close to the league's.
Every match ranked the same way: first half goals today · second half goals today · goal in both halves today · tomorrow.
