BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Mlada Boleslav 58% versus Slovan Liberec 42%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Mlada Boleslav 60% | Slovan Liberec 37%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Mlada Boleslav 1.25 xG and Slovan Liberec 0.81 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 1.268 / defence 0.692 | Slovan Liberec attack 0.928 / defence 0.694. League average goals — home 1.420 / away 1.261. Mlada Boleslav carry an above-average attack strength of 1.268 — their λ of 1.25 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Slovan Liberec's defence strength of 0.694 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Mlada Boleslav's defence rating of 0.692 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 38 Mlada Boleslav games / 39 Slovan Liberec games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Mlada Boleslav 45% | Draw 33% | Slovan Liberec 22%. Fair-value odds: Mlada Boleslav 2.22 | Draw 3.03 | Slovan Liberec 4.55. Mlada Boleslav hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (33%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 34% | BTTS probability 42% | Total xG 2.06. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 66% probability — total xG of 2.06 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 42% 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 45% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 33% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Mlada Boleslav if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.06 combined xG gives a 34% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though H2H averaging only 3.5 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 42%. Form rates corroborate: Mlada Boleslav 40% | Slovan Liberec 50% BTTS from recent games.
