Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Mlada Boleslav 1.47 xG and Slovan Liberec 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: Mlada Boleslav attack 1.118 / defence 0.894 | Slovan Liberec attack 1.123 / defence 0.867. League average goals — home 1.520 / away 1.187. Data: 46 Mlada Boleslav games / 46 Slovan Liberec games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Mlada Boleslav 41% | Draw 30% | Slovan Liberec 28%. Fair-value odds: Mlada Boleslav 2.44 | Draw 3.33 | Slovan Liberec 3.57. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 56% | Total xG 2.66. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.66 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 56% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Mlada Boleslav as the most likely outcome at 41% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Mlada Boleslav if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.66 combined xG gives a 50% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though form averaging only 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging only 4.0 goals per meeting point in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 56%. Form rates are neutral: Mlada Boleslav 40% | Slovan Liberec 60%.
