Warta have defensive issues as well, conceding an average of 2 goals at home, but their greater possession share of 58% and significantly higher attacking activity point to a home victory.

The BTTS pick is primarily based on current form: both teams produced this scenario in 60% of their last 5 matches. During this period, Warta averaged 1.4 goals scored with an xG of 1.70, while Ząbkovia conceded as many as 2.4 goals per game and allowed opponents an xG of 1.69. The visitors also have an attacking argument, as their average xG across their last five appearances stands at 1.62, while Warta conceded an average of 1.0 goal and allowed an xG of 1.43. Warta’s seasonal home data is very limited and includes a 100% clean-sheet rate, but the small sample contrasts with their recent form and Ząbkovia’s defensive weakness. In addition, the league BTTS frequency is a high 67%, making it more likely that both sides will score at least one goal. Therefore, BTTS - Yes is the preferred pick rather than BTTS - No, which means that at least one team fails to score; it does not automatically imply a 0:0 result or that neither team will score.

In their last five matches, Warta Sieradz averaged 1.4 goals scored, while Ząbkovia Ząbki conceded as many as 2.4 goals per game, clearly supporting the home side’s scoring potential.
