The two sides

Gornik Zabrze carry a model rating of 6.57 against 6.84 for Wisla Krakow. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

Recent form (most recent last): Gornik Zabrze W-W; Wisla Krakow W-L-W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.93 goals for Gornik Zabrze and 2.29 for Wisla Krakow. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Gornik Zabrze rate 0.74 in attack and 1.30 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Wisla Krakow rate 1.26 and 1.38.

That points to 79% for over two and a half goals and 77% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-2 (7%), 2-2 (7%), 1-1 (7%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Gornik Zabrze, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
