Lomza vs Legia Warszawa II: match statistics

I back the home win (1). Lomza averages 1.78 xG at home, 6.4 shots on target per match and 56% possession, outperforming Legia II’s 1.47 xG and 4.4 shots on target in away fixtures. Lomza scores 2.5 and concedes 1.0 at home (goal difference +1.5, home goal balance +21), while Legia II away scores 2.36 and concedes 1.07 (goal difference +1.29, away goal balance +18). The home advantage in xG and shots on target favors Lomza. Legia II’s case is supported by their overall season record: 23 wins versus Lomza’s 17 and 73 goals scored versus 61, plus markedly better recent form — 13 points in the last 5 matches (2.6 ppg) versus Lomza’s 10 points (2.0 ppg). Neither team has failed to score in any match (0% scoreless games), and in the last 5 meetings both have scored 9 goals; Lomza conceded 3 and Legia 2, indicating balanced but attack-oriented parity. Considering Lomza’s xG advantage (1.78 vs 1.47), superior shots on target (6.4 vs 4.4) and possession (56% vs 51%), I estimate probabilities: Lomza 45%, draw 25%, Legia II 30%.

Statistical analysis shows Lomza scores an average of 2.86 goals at home and concedes only 0.50 goals with 57% clean sheets, which strongly supports a clean sheet expected. Legia II away scores an average of 2.36 goals and has a season BTTS of 57%, however in the last 5 matches both teams produced BTTS in only 40% of cases, and Legia conceded an average of 0.4 goals in those five fixtures. xG indicates 1.79 xG for Lomza versus 1.47 xG for Legia, and 1.06 xG against the hosts and 1.37 xG against the visitors; nonetheless Lomza actually concedes fewer goals (0.50) than xG suggests (1.06), pointing to an effective defense or goalkeeper. Although the league has a 63% BTTS rate, individual metrics — 43% BTTS for Lomza versus 57% BTTS for Legia and 57% clean sheets for the home side — lead me to favor the 'No' (No Goal) scenario as more likely.

The xG-based model (1.79 for Łomża and 1.47 for Legia II) and xG against (Legia concedes 1.37, Łomża concedes 1.06) forecasts 1.58 expected goals for Łomża and 1.27 for Legia II, totaling 2.85 goals. A Poisson estimate for a 2.85 total yields probability of Over 1.5 ≈78%, Over 2.5 ≈54% and Over 3.5 ≈32%. Season-long metrics support a scoring scenario: Łomża averages 2.86 goals, Legia II 2.36; both teams have Over 1.5 in 86% of matches, and Over 2.5 rates of 64% (Łomża) and 71% (Legia II). Counterarguments include Łomża’s high clean sheet rate (57%) and just 0.5 goals conceded on average, but the last 5 matches show 9 goals scored by each team (1.8 per match) and shot conversion rates of 21% vs 19%, which strengthen the Over option. Overall the strongest signal from the data is Over 1.5 as the most probable and value-driven line.

Statistics indicate Łomża’s advantage at Half-Time and Full-Time: Łomża led at the break in 9 matches (64%), scoring on average 1.14 goals by Half-Time and conceding only 0.21, whereas Legia II averages 0.77 goals and concedes 0.54 by Half-Time. Over the full match Łomża scores 2.86 goals and concedes 0.5 on average, with an xG of 1.79 versus Legia II’s 1.47; the home side registers 5.64 shots on target per match compared to the visitors’ 4.4, confirming superior chance creation. Łomża wins at home in 86% of matches and keeps a clean sheet by Half-Time in 79% of cases, so the Half-Time/Full-Time scenario of leading at the break and winning the match (1/1) is the strongest signal. However, Legia II’s form must be considered — 4 wins in their last 5 matches (80%) and leading at the break in 60% of their last five fixtures — therefore I retain a meaningful weighting for draw scenarios and the potential for a turnaround after the break.
