Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Baník Ostrava 2.44 xG and Karviná 1.16 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 1.290 / defence 0.932 | Karviná attack 1.017 / defence 1.263. League average goals — home 1.496 / away 1.221. Baník Ostrava carry an above-average attack strength of 1.290 — their λ of 2.44 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Karviná bring a strong defensive rating of 1.263 — this is suppressing Baník Ostrava's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 45 Baník Ostrava games / 45 Karviná games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Baník Ostrava 64% | Draw 21% | Karviná 15%. Fair-value odds: Baník Ostrava 1.56 | Draw 4.76 | Karviná 6.67. The model has a clear lean to Baník Ostrava (64%) — a 49pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS probability 64% | Total xG 3.60. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 70% — a total xG of 3.60 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 64% reflects that both xG figures (2.44 / 1.16) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Baník Ostrava as the most likely outcome at 64% — 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 3.60 combined xG gives a 70% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.0 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 64% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Baník Ostrava 40% | Karviná 60%.
