Current Form

Pardubice's overall Czech Liga record this term: 3W 2D 5L from 10 games (1.10 PPG). Last five: L L W W L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.

Pardubice's home record at CFIG Arena: 3W 2D 5L from 10 Czech Liga appearances (1.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Karviná have collected 1.30 PPG across 10 Czech Liga outings this season: 3W 4D 3L. Last five: D W L D W. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Karviná's form when playing away from home: 2W 4D 4L across 10 road games this term (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.10 PPG for Pardubice against 1.30 for Karviná. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (using home/away splits) — Pardubice have seen both teams score in 60% of their games, Karviná in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

H2H Analysis

The head-to-head record favours Pardubice, who have won 3 of the last 3 meetings against Karviná — a 0D 0W return for the visitors.

The 3 previous meetings have averaged 2.7 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 14 Feb 2024, ended 3–0 with Pardubice winning.

The historical record gives Pardubice a meaningful edge here — 3 wins from 3 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.

Trading

Pardubice half-time and goal-timing data (33 games, 17 at home): they score before half-time in 82% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 29% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.

Karviná half-time and goal-timing data (33 games, 17 at away): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 39%; they fail to score in 33% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Pardubice 48% versus Karviná 58%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Pardubice 39% | Karviná 61%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Pardubice 1.19 xG and Karviná 1.12 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 0.780 / defence 1.039 | Karviná attack 0.837 / defence 0.994. League average goals — home 1.529 / away 1.289. Pardubice's attack strength of 0.780 is below the league average — the 1.19 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 60 Pardubice games / 30 Karviná games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Pardubice 36% | Draw 31% | Karviná 33%. Fair-value odds: Pardubice 2.78 | Draw 3.23 | Karviná 3.03. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.31. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.31 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Pardubice are the pick at 36% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Pardubice if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.31 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 41% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 48% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data: Pardubice 60% | Karviná 60% from recent games — a notable divergence.

The outsider holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
