Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Sparta Praha 1.94 xG and Slavia Praha 1.49 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 1.396 / defence 0.978 | Slavia Praha attack 1.220 / defence 0.833. League average goals — home 1.668 / away 1.251. Sparta Praha carry an above-average attack strength of 1.396 — their λ of 1.94 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Slavia Praha have an above-average attack strength of 1.220 — the away xG of 1.49 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 60 Sparta Praha games / 60 Slavia Praha games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Sparta Praha 47% | Draw 24% | Slavia Praha 29%. Fair-value odds: Sparta Praha 2.13 | Draw 4.17 | Slavia Praha 3.45. Sparta Praha 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 67% | BTTS probability 68% | Total xG 3.43. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.43 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 68% reflects that both xG figures (1.94 / 1.49) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Sparta Praha as the most likely outcome at 47% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Sparta Praha 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 3.43 combined xG gives a 67% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 68%. Form rates corroborate: Sparta Praha 70% | Slavia Praha 50% BTTS from recent games.
