Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Dukla Praha 1.10 xG and Baník Ostrava 1.15 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: Dukla Praha attack 0.918 / defence 1.004 | Baník Ostrava attack 0.898 / defence 0.905. League average goals — home 1.324 / away 1.275. Data: 32 Dukla Praha games / 31 Baník Ostrava games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Dukla Praha 34% | Draw 29% | Baník Ostrava 37%. Fair-value odds: Dukla Praha 2.94 | Draw 3.45 | Baník Ostrava 2.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 39% | BTTS probability 46% | Total xG 2.25. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.25 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 46% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Baník Ostrava at 37% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Baník Ostrava if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.25 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 39% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.2 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 46% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Dukla Praha 70% | Baník Ostrava 30%.

The outsider holds a 34% 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. The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (31 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
