FK Jablonec (all games): 1W 4D 5L across their last 10 — 0.70 points per game. Last five: D W L L L. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 2.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.10 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

On the road, FK Jablonec have gone 3W 1D 6L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 2.40 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

Form favours the hosts. Pardubice's 1.60 PPG return is 0.90 points per game ahead of FK Jablonec's 0.70 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.

Head-to-Head

The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 2 H2H matches in our data, the wins are level at 1 apiece, with 0 draws. Neither side has a commanding advantage. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 2 H2H matches in our data have been tight, averaging just 1.5 goals per game — a meaningful input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent of those, on 24 May 2023, ended Pardubice 2–0 FK Jablonec — a Pardubice win.

With a balanced win record and just 1.5 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

Trading

Pardubice half-time and goal-timing data (last 36 games, 18 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 72% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 91% of the time; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 39% of games (home games); they fail to score in 36% of games.

FK Jablonec half-time and goal-timing data (last 36 games, 18 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 83% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 71% of those occasions; of the 9 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 44%; of the 16 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 72% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 39%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Pardubice 47% versus FK Jablonec 64%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Pardubice 47% | FK Jablonec 64%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Pardubice 1.82 xG and FK Jablonec 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: Pardubice attack 0.775 / defence 0.980 | FK Jablonec attack 1.068 / defence 1.283. League average goals — home 1.834 / away 1.107. Pardubice's attack rating of 0.775 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.82. FK Jablonec's defence rating of 1.283 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Pardubice's projected output up. Data: built from Pardubice's last 31 games and FK Jablonec's last 31. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Pardubice 53% | Draw 23% | FK Jablonec 24%. Fair-value odds: Pardubice 1.89 | Draw 4.36 | FK Jablonec 4.14. Pardubice hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS Yes probability 58% | Total xG 2.98. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.98 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 58% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Pardubice as the most likely outcome at 53% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Pardubice if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.98 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 57% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Pardubice's last 10 home games and FK Jablonec's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 58% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Pardubice 50% (last 10 home games) | FK Jablonec 80% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Pardubice 31 games, FK Jablonec 31) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
