The points were shared at Městský stadion - Vítkovice Aréna, Regular Season - 28, as Baník Ostrava and Sparta Praha drew 1-1 in the Czech Liga. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Baník Ostrava 1.70 xG and Sparta Praha 1.24 xG, a combined 2.93. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Baník Ostrava attack 1.37 / defence 0.91 against Sparta Praha attack 1.17 / defence 0.88, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Baník Ostrava 47% | Draw 26% | Sparta Praha 27%, with Baník Ostrava to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
