Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Dukla Praha 1.25 xG and Baník Ostrava 1.11 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 0.727 / defence 1.090 | Baník Ostrava attack 0.845 / defence 1.245. League average goals — home 1.381 / away 1.201. Dukla Praha's attack strength of 0.727 is below the league average — the 1.25 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Baník Ostrava bring a strong defensive rating of 1.245 — this is suppressing Dukla Praha's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 60 Dukla Praha games / 60 Baník Ostrava games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Dukla Praha 39% | Draw 30% | Baník Ostrava 32%. Fair-value odds: Dukla Praha 2.56 | Draw 3.33 | Baník Ostrava 3.12. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 42% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 2.36. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 58% — total xG of 2.36 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 49% 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 Dukla Praha at 39% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Dukla Praha if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.36 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 42% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though H2H averaging only 3.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 49% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Dukla Praha 30% | Baník Ostrava 50% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 32% 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.
