Match Analysis

Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, Hradec Králové stand at 3W 1D 6L — 1.00 PPG. Last five: L W L L L. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 2.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.20 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Hradec Králové at home: 4W 0D 6L from their last 10 home games — 1.20 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game.

Across their last 10 games, FK Jablonec have recorded 0W 5D 5L — 0.50 PPG. Last five: L D D L D. Their scoring rate of 0.60 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

FK Jablonec's form when playing away from home: 0W 4D 6L across their last 10 road games (0.40 PPG). Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 2.10 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

Hradec Králové are in the better shape of the two on recent form — 0.50 PPG ahead (1.00 vs 0.50). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 2 H2H matches, Hradec Králové have won 0, FK Jablonec 2, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 4.0 per game across the 2 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 4 Mar 2023, ended Hradec Králové 1–4 FK Jablonec — a FK Jablonec win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 4.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Hradec Králové 1.76 xG and FK Jablonec 1.11 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Hradec Králové attack 1.038 / defence 1.119 | FK Jablonec attack 0.821 / defence 0.988. League average goals — home 1.721 / away 1.207. Data: built from Hradec Králové's last 38 games and FK Jablonec's last 38.

Result probabilities: Hradec Králové 53% | Draw 23% | FK Jablonec 24%. Fair-value odds: Hradec Králové 1.90 | Draw 4.27 | FK Jablonec 4.20. Hradec Králové hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS Yes probability 56% | Total xG 2.87. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.87 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 56% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Hradec Králové at 53% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 23% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Hradec Králové offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.87 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 55% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Hradec Králové's last 10 home games and FK Jablonec's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 56% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Hradec Králové 50% (last 10 home games) | FK Jablonec 70% (last 10 away games).
