Full Analysis

Andrův stadion plays host to Sigma Olomouc versus Mlada Boleslav in Czech Liga (matchday 5). Kick-off: Sunday 18 August 2024 at 14:30 UK time.

Current Form

Sigma Olomouc's record over their last 10 games: 3W 2D 5L (1.10 PPG). Last five: L W D W L. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

In front of their own supporters, Sigma Olomouc have posted 2W 3D 5L from their last 10 home games — 0.90 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Mlada Boleslav (all games): 4W 0D 6L across their last 10 — 1.20 points per game. Last five: W L W L W. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in only 20% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No.

Mlada Boleslav's away record over their last 10 away games: 2W 4D 4L (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 0.60 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game.

Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.10 vs 1.20 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.

Head-to-Head

The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 5 H2H matches in our data, Sigma Olomouc edge it 2 wins to 1, with 2 draws. Neither side has a commanding advantage.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 5 H2H matches in our data averaged 3.0 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 16 Mar 2024, ended Sigma Olomouc 1–2 Mlada Boleslav — a Mlada Boleslav win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading

Sigma Olomouc half-time and goal-timing data (last 36 games, 17 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (home games).

Mlada Boleslav half-time and goal-timing data (last 36 games, 17 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; of the 10 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 30%; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 39%; they fail to score in 33% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Sigma Olomouc 61% versus Mlada Boleslav 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Sigma Olomouc 56% | Mlada Boleslav 64%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Sigma Olomouc surrender their half-time lead 25% of the time, while Mlada Boleslav have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 30% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Sigma Olomouc 1.56 xG and Mlada Boleslav 1.07 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: Sigma Olomouc attack 1.013 / defence 1.081 | Mlada Boleslav attack 0.938 / defence 1.097. League average goals — home 1.404 / away 1.051. Data: built from Sigma Olomouc's last 34 games and Mlada Boleslav's last 34.

Result probabilities: Sigma Olomouc 49% | Draw 25% | Mlada Boleslav 26%. Fair-value odds: Sigma Olomouc 2.05 | Draw 3.95 | Mlada Boleslav 3.86. Sigma Olomouc hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.63. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.63 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Sigma Olomouc at 49% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Sigma Olomouc if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 2.63 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 51% probability — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 5 H2H matches points the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 52% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Sigma Olomouc 70% (last 10 home games) | Mlada Boleslav 40% (last 10 away games).
