Current Form

Sigma Olomouc's record over their last 10 games: 5W 1D 4L (1.60 PPG). Last five: L W W W L. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.30 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Sigma Olomouc at home: 4W 2D 4L from their last 10 home games — 1.40 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Slovan Liberec have collected 1.40 PPG across their last 10 games: 4W 2D 4L. Last five: W D L D W. 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 (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

On the road, Slovan Liberec have gone 3W 4D 3L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.30 PPG). Away from home they average 1.50 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.

Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.60 vs 1.40 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (from Sigma Olomouc's last 10 home games and Slovan Liberec's last 10 away games) — Sigma Olomouc have seen both teams score in 70% of their games, Slovan Liberec in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

Head-to-Head

Neither side has dominated the 3 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Sigma Olomouc, 0 for Slovan Liberec and 2 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.7 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 18 Feb 2023, ended Sigma Olomouc 2–2 Slovan Liberec — a draw.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading

Sigma Olomouc half-time and goal-timing data (last 39 games, 19 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 84% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 57% of those occasions; of the 12 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; of the 13 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 31%; BTTS occurs in 68% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (home games).

Slovan Liberec half-time and goal-timing data (last 39 games, 19 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 79% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; they lead at the break 46% of the time; of the 18 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; BTTS occurs in 63% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 36%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Sigma Olomouc 59% and Slovan Liberec 62% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Sigma Olomouc 56% | Slovan Liberec 62%). Note also that Slovan Liberec surrender HT leads in 33% of cases while Sigma Olomouc recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 31% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Sigma Olomouc 1.70 xG and Slovan Liberec 1.29 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: Sigma Olomouc attack 1.086 / defence 1.054 | Slovan Liberec attack 1.050 / defence 0.955. League average goals — home 1.635 / away 1.165. Data: built from Sigma Olomouc's last 35 games and Slovan Liberec's last 35.

Result probabilities: Sigma Olomouc 47% | Draw 24% | Slovan Liberec 29%. Fair-value odds: Sigma Olomouc 2.13 | Draw 4.20 | Slovan Liberec 3.43. Sigma Olomouc hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS Yes probability 59% | 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 59% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Sigma Olomouc are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Sigma Olomouc if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.98 combined xG gives a 57% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Sigma Olomouc's last 10 home games and Slovan Liberec's last 10 away games) averaging 3.1 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Sigma Olomouc 70% (last 10 home games) | Slovan Liberec 60% (last 10 away games).
