Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Baník Ostrava 1.55 xG and Sigma Olomouc 1.03 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: Baník Ostrava attack 1.268 / defence 0.826 | Sigma Olomouc attack 1.033 / defence 0.902. League average goals — home 1.358 / away 1.203. Baník Ostrava carry an above-average attack strength of 1.268 — their λ of 1.55 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 60 Baník Ostrava games / 60 Sigma Olomouc games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Baník Ostrava 49% | Draw 26% | Sigma Olomouc 25%. Fair-value odds: Baník Ostrava 2.04 | Draw 3.85 | Sigma Olomouc 4.00. Baník Ostrava hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 2.58. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.58 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — 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 Baník Ostrava at 49% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Baník Ostrava offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.58 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 48% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though H2H averaging only 2.9 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 51% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Baník Ostrava 60% | Sigma Olomouc 60% BTTS from recent games.
