Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Slovan Liberec 0.91 xG and Slavia Praha 1.58 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: Slovan Liberec attack 0.773 / defence 0.867 | Slavia Praha attack 1.317 / defence 0.802. League average goals — home 1.462 / away 1.384. Slovan Liberec's attack strength of 0.773 is below the league average — the 0.91 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Slavia Praha have an above-average attack strength of 1.317 — the away xG of 1.58 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 33 Slovan Liberec games / 33 Slavia Praha games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Slovan Liberec 21% | Draw 26% | Slavia Praha 53%. Fair-value odds: Slovan Liberec 4.76 | Draw 3.85 | Slavia Praha 1.89. Slavia Praha hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 45% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.49. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.49 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Slavia Praha at 53% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 26% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Slavia Praha if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.49 combined xG gives a 45% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 48%. Form rates are neutral: Slovan Liberec 30% | Slavia Praha 70%.
