Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.10 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.

Their home PPG of 2.50 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.90 — Sparta Praha are significantly better at epet ARENA than their overall form suggests.

Their attacking form is sharp — 2.00 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

They are averaging 1.90 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.90 for Sparta Praha, 1.80 for Mlada Boleslav — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Sparta Praha 1.94 xG and Mlada Boleslav 1.64 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: Sparta Praha attack 1.306 / defence 1.069 | Mlada Boleslav attack 1.190 / defence 1.052. League average goals — home 1.409 / away 1.288. Sparta Praha carry an above-average attack strength of 1.306 — their λ of 1.94 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 36 Sparta Praha games / 35 Mlada Boleslav games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Sparta Praha 45% | Draw 23% | Mlada Boleslav 33%. Fair-value odds: Sparta Praha 2.22 | Draw 4.35 | Mlada Boleslav 3.03. Sparta Praha hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 69% | BTTS probability 69% | Total xG 3.58. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 69% — a total xG of 3.58 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 69% reflects that both xG figures (1.94 / 1.64) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Sparta Praha are the pick at 45% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Sparta Praha 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.

Poisson projects 3.58 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 69% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.6 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 69% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Sparta Praha 60% | Mlada Boleslav 50% BTTS from recent games.

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.
