Warta Gorzów vs Polonia Nysa: match statistics

Warta Gorzów are favorites primarily because of their stronger defensive record at home: they concede an average of 0.8 goals per match, while Polonia Nysa concede 2.2 away from home. In their last five matches, the hosts earned 6 points and conceded 7 goals, while the visitors earned 3 points and conceded 11, strengthening the case for Warta. Both teams score an average of 0.8 goals in the relevant home and away matches, but Polonia have failed to score in 60% of their away games, compared with 40% of Warta's home matches. The quality of chances created is similar — Warta average 1.37 xG at home and Polonia 1.30 away — so despite the hosts' advantage, a draw remains a realistic possibility. Warta have won 40% of their home matches, while Polonia have lost 60% of their away games, supporting a home win pick.

BTTS has landed in 83% of Warta’s matches and 40% of Polonia’s, but over their last five games those figures were 80% and 60%, respectively, strengthening the case for BTTS - Yes. Neither team has kept a clean sheet, and Polonia concede an average of 2.2 goals per match compared with 2.17 for Warta. This favors the hosts to score, as they average 1.33 goals, while the visitors’ xG of 1.30 suggests they should also create chances. The strongest argument against BTTS is that Polonia have failed to score in 60% of their matches and average just 0.8 goals. Even so, Warta’s poor defence and Polonia’s improved BTTS rate of 60% over their last five games give a slight edge to the scenario in which both teams score.

The strongest signal is Over 1.5 goals: all previous matches involving both teams have gone above this line. Warta concede an average of 2.17 goals per match, while Polonia concede 2.20, supporting the prospect of goals even with the visitors’ modest scoring return of 0.80 goals. The case for a higher goal tally is also supported by Over 2.5 goals landing in 83% of Warta’s matches and 60% of Polonia’s, although this figure has dropped to 20% across Warta’s last five games. Therefore, with a forecast of 2.90 goals, Over 1.5 is a safer pick than backing higher goal lines.

Warta shows a clearer signal for taking the lead at the break: in the matches analysed, they were ahead at half-time in 33% of games, while Polonia were trailing at that point in 60%. The hosts score an average of 0.83 goals before half-time, compared with 0.20 for the visitors, further supporting the prospect of an early advantage. Recent form also points to Warta holding on to their lead: they averaged 1.2 points across their last five matches, while Polonia averaged 0.6 points and lost 80% of those games. The visitors concede an average of 1.6 goals after half-time, making Warta to lead at the break and win at full-time the most likely scenario. However, confidence in the pick is tempered by the fact that the hosts also concede an average of 1.33 goals after half-time.
