Legia Warszawa II vs Wigry Suwałki: match statistics

Legia Warszawa II are clear favorites: at home they have an 83% win rate and 0% losses, score on average 3.08 goals and concede only 0.58 goals per match. Across the season Legia have scored 70 goals (11 in the last 5 matches), have home xG of 1.86, average 5.92 shots on target per game and a conversion rate of 22%, while Wigry away average 1.25 goals per match, xG 1.34, 4.18 shots on target and a 10% conversion. Defensively the hosts have a clear advantage — Legia concede 0.58 goals per game (xG against 1.07) with 50% clean sheets, whereas Wigry concede 1.75 goals away (xG against 1.81) and have only 17% clean sheets. Although Wigry scored 13 goals in their last 5 matches and both teams average 2.6 points per game over the last 5 fixtures, the gap in efficiency is noticeable: Legia fail to score in only 8% of home matches versus 33% of Wigry’s away games. Therefore I tip a Legia Warszawa II win, although a draw or an away goal cannot be ruled out.

Both teams have a high season BTTS rate: Legia II 57% and Wigry 58%, and in the last 5 matches both register 60%, i.e. in about 6 out of 10 fixtures both sides scored. xG and chance stats confirm this trend — Legia has an attacking xG of 1.58, while Wigry concede xG at 1.81 on average; Wigry have an attacking xG of 1.34 versus Legia's conceded xG of 1.45, so both teams regularly create over 1.3 xG per game. Additionally Legia score 2.29 goals/match and concede 1.00, Wigry score 1.25 and concede 1.75; the league averages 3.38 goals per match, and Over 2.5 percentage is 71% for Legia and 67% for Wigry, which favors BTTS scenarios. The counterargument is that Legia have a 43% clean sheet expected rate and Wigry failed to score in 33% of matches, however in the short term both teams have scored 11 and 13 goals respectively in their last 5 matches, which strengthens the case for Goal/Goal. Considering season and short-term BTTS indicators (57–60%), high Over2.5 share (67–71%) and xG (1.34–1.58), I tip BTTS - Yes as more likely with an estimated probability of 70% vs 30% for No Goal.

Legia II averages 2.29 goals per game while Wigry average 1.25; season percentages for matches over 1.5 goals are 79% for the home side and 83% for the visitors, which gives a strong signal for Over 1.5. xG is 1.58 for Legia and 1.34 for Wigry, with xG against of 1.45 (Legia) and 1.81 (Wigry); the arithmetic averages (1.58+1.81)/2=1.70 for the home team and (1.34+1.45)/2=1.40 for the visitors lead to an expected total xG ≈3.10. Legia has a higher shot conversion rate at 18% versus Wigry's 10% and records 4.29 shots on target per game vs 4.18 for the visitors, which increases the likelihood of xG being converted into goals. Seasonally Over 2.5 occurs 71% (Legia) and 67% (Wigry), and in the last 5 matches Over 2.5 appeared in 60% and 80% respectively; Over 3.5 has weaker support at 36%/42%. Given the expected combined total of around 3.10 goals, I select Over 1.5 as the strongest signal (high Over 1.5 percentages and favorable xG/conversion ratio).

Legia Warszawa II led at the break in 9 of 14 matches (64%) and scored an average of 1.14 first-half goals versus 0.67 for Wigry; the hosts also kept a first-half clean sheet in 71% of games. Over the season Legia averages 2.29 goals with xG 1.58 and a finishing rate of 18%, while Wigry record 1.25 goals, xG 1.34 and a 10% conversion, which gives the hosts a clear qualitative advantage. After the break Legia add an average of 1.14 goals and Wigry 0.58, and the hosts have a higher points-per-game average (2.21 vs 1.5 for the visitors), so they more often maintain or extend a lead. On this basis I assign the highest probability to the scenario of leading at half-time and winning (1/1) — 53%; the second-strongest outcome is X/1 at 15% and X/X at 7% as moderate options. The chance of a turnaround by Wigry I estimate at 14% in total (1/2=3%, X/2=6%, 2/2=5%) due to their lower shot effectiveness.
