Analysis & Preview
Plzen travel to Fortuna Arena to take on Slavia Praha in Czech Liga (matchday 14). The game is scheduled for Sunday 5 November 2023 at 17:00 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 10 matches, Slavia Praha stand at 7W 3D 0L — 2.40 PPG. Last five: D D W W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 0.50 conceded. Defensively, conceding just 0.50 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.
At home, Slavia Praha have gone 8W 2D 0L in their last 10 home games (2.60 PPG). They are averaging 2.60 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.
Across their last 10 games, Plzen have recorded 7W 0D 3L — 2.10 PPG. Last five: W L W L L. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.90 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
Plzen away from home: 3W 1D 6L from their last 10 away games — 1.00 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.70 goals scored and 1.50 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 1.00 is notably below their overall 2.10 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Slavia Praha 2.40 PPG, Plzen 2.10 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
In-Play Data
Slavia Praha trading profile (last 47 games, 22 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 73% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; they lead at the break 51% of the time; of the 7 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 71%; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 45%; they keep a clean sheet 45% of the time.
Plzen trading profile (last 47 games, 22 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 82% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 91% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 54% of those occasions; they lead at the break 47% of the time; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 64% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Slavia Praha 49% versus Plzen 62%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Slavia Praha 60% | Plzen 66%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Slavia Praha 2.06 xG and Plzen 1.19 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: Slavia Praha attack 1.237 / defence 0.756 | Plzen attack 1.366 / defence 1.040. League average goals — home 1.599 / away 1.152. Plzen have an above-average attack rating of 1.366, which lifts their away xG to 1.19. Slavia Praha have a tight defence (rating 0.756), which is pulling Plzen's projected output down. Data: built from Slavia Praha's last 43 games and Plzen's last 42.
Result probabilities: Slavia Praha 57% | Draw 21% | Plzen 22%. Fair-value odds: Slavia Praha 1.74 | Draw 4.75 | Plzen 4.65. The model has a clear lean to Slavia Praha (57%) — a 35pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS Yes probability 61% | Total xG 3.25. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.25 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% — both xG figures (2.06 / 1.19) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Slavia Praha as the most likely outcome at 57% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.25 combined xG gives a 63% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Slavia Praha's last 10 home games and Plzen's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 61% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Slavia Praha 50% (last 10 home games) | Plzen 60% (last 10 away games).

Slavia Praha are averaging 2.60 goals scored and 0.79 conceded per game recently; Plzen are on 1.91 scored and 1.17 conceded. Plzen's attacking output running into Slavia Praha's solid defensive record is the key goals-market tension in this fixture.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Plzen beat Slavia Praha 1-2 at Fortuna Arena, Regular Season - 14, in the Czech Liga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Slavia Praha 2.06 xG and Plzen 1.19 xG, a combined 3.25. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Slavia Praha fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Plzen outscored their 1.19 projection by 0.8. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Slavia Praha attack 1.24 / defence 0.76 against Plzen attack 1.37 / defence 1.04, drawn from 43/42 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Slavia Praha 57% | Draw 21% | Plzen 22%, with Slavia Praha to win its most likely call at 57%. Instead the game produced a Plzen win, an outcome the model had rated at just 22% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets

Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
