Trading

Mlada Boleslav half-time and goal-timing data (20 games, 10 at home): they score before half-time in 90% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; BTTS occurs in 70% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 80% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 35%.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Mlada Boleslav 1.84 xG and Slovan Liberec 1.35 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: Mlada Boleslav attack 1.235 / defence 1.521 | Slovan Liberec attack 0.740 / defence 1.263. League average goals — home 1.183 / away 1.199. Slovan Liberec bring a strong defensive rating of 1.263 — this is suppressing Mlada Boleslav's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 21 Mlada Boleslav games / 20 Slovan Liberec games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Mlada Boleslav 49% | Draw 23% | Slovan Liberec 28%. Fair-value odds: Mlada Boleslav 2.04 | Draw 4.35 | Slovan Liberec 3.57. Mlada Boleslav hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.20. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.20 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.84 / 1.35) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Mlada Boleslav as the most likely outcome at 49% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Mlada Boleslav if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.20 combined xG gives a 62% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 62%. Form rates corroborate: Mlada Boleslav 70% | Slovan Liberec 60% BTTS from recent games.
