Fixture Analysis
Plzen welcome Mlada Boleslav to Doosan Aréna in Czech Liga (Championship Round - 1). Kick-off is Sunday 5 May 2024 at 15:00 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 10 matches, Plzen stand at 7W 2D 1L — 2.30 PPG. Last five: L D W D W. They are averaging 2.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. Defensively, conceding just 0.70 per game is an exceptional defensive record. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches.
In front of their own supporters, Plzen have posted 6W 1D 3L from their last 10 home games — 1.90 PPG. They are averaging 2.20 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home.
Mlada Boleslav — last 10 games: 4W 4D 2L — 1.60 PPG. Last five: W D L W D. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — 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 80% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.
Mlada Boleslav's form when playing away from home: 2W 5D 3L across their last 10 road games (1.10 PPG). Away from home they average 1.50 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 1.10 is notably below their overall 1.60 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
Plzen are in the better shape of the two on recent form — 0.70 PPG ahead (2.30 vs 1.60). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.
H2H
The H2H picture is flat: the 4 H2H matches we hold have produced 2 wins for Plzen, 0 for Mlada Boleslav and 2 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here.
The 4 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 10 Feb 2024, ended Plzen 1–1 Mlada Boleslav — a draw.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
In-Play Profile
Plzen in-play tendencies (last 62 games, 31 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 64% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 53% of those occasions; they lead at the break 47% of the time; of the 10 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 30%; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (home games).
Mlada Boleslav in-play tendencies (last 62 games, 31 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 68% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 65% of the time; of the 18 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 44%; BTTS occurs in 55% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 36%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Plzen 58% versus Mlada Boleslav 61%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Plzen 63% | Mlada Boleslav 56%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Plzen 1.62 xG and Mlada Boleslav 0.95 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: Plzen attack 1.280 / defence 0.784 | Mlada Boleslav attack 0.939 / defence 0.826. League average goals — home 1.529 / away 1.289. Plzen carry an above-average attack rating of 1.280 — their 1.62 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Plzen have a tight defence (rating 0.784), which is pulling Mlada Boleslav's projected output down. Data: built from Plzen's last 60 games and Mlada Boleslav's last 60.
Result probabilities: Plzen 52% | Draw 27% | Mlada Boleslav 21%. Fair-value odds: Plzen 1.93 | Draw 3.67 | Mlada Boleslav 4.77. Plzen hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS Yes probability 50% | Total xG 2.56. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.56 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 50% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Plzen as the most likely outcome at 52% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Plzen offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.56 combined xG gives a 53% probability to Under 2.5 — low conviction — though recent form (Plzen's last 10 home games and Mlada Boleslav's last 10 away games) averaging 3.1 goals per game points the other way.
Poisson assigns a 50% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Plzen 40% (last 10 home games) | Mlada Boleslav 60% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Plzen beat Mlada Boleslav 3-0 at Doosan Aréna, Championship Round - 1, in the Czech Liga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Plzen 1.62 xG and Mlada Boleslav 0.95 xG, a combined 2.56. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. Plzen beat their projection by 1.4 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Mlada Boleslav landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Plzen attack 1.28 / defence 0.78 against Mlada Boleslav attack 0.94 / defence 0.83, drawn from 60/60 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Plzen 52% | Draw 27% | Mlada Boleslav 21%, with Plzen to win its most likely call at 52%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 74% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 60% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Plzen 63%, Mlada Boleslav 56%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Plzen's trading profile (62 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and duly kept one.
Mlada Boleslav's trading profile (62 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 27% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
On form, Plzen arrived the stronger side — 1.87 PPG against 1.32. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Plzen (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 2.13 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.13 average — tighter than their form line. Mlada Boleslav (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.23 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.65 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
