Match Analysis
Plzen host Slavia Praha at Doosan Aréna in Czech Liga (matchday 28). Kick-off is Sunday 14 April 2024 at 18:00 UK time.
Form Guide
Plzen — last 10 games: 7W 2D 1L, averaging 2.30 points per game. Last five: W W W L D. They are averaging 2.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. Defensively, conceding just 0.80 per game is an exceptional defensive record. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches.
In front of their own supporters, Plzen have posted 6W 1D 3L from their last 10 home games — 1.90 PPG. They are averaging 2.60 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.
Across their last 10 games, Slavia Praha have recorded 8W 2D 0L — 2.60 PPG. Last five: D W W W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.60 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. Defensively, 0.80 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.
Slavia Praha's form when playing away from home: 7W 3D 0L across their last 10 road games (2.40 PPG). They are averaging 1.90 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 5 away clean sheets from their last 10 away games (50%) — they are hard to break down on the road.
There is minimal separation in the form figures — Plzen at 2.30 PPG versus Slavia Praha's 2.60. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.
Head to Head
The H2H picture is flat: the 1 H2H match we hold have produced 1 wins for Plzen, 0 for Slavia Praha and 0 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.
The 1 H2H match in our data have been high-scoring — 3.0 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 5 Nov 2023, ended Plzen 2–1 Slavia Praha — a Plzen win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading Patterns
Plzen in-play and half-time data (last 62 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 70% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 87% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 53% of those occasions; they lead at the break 47% of the time; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 36%; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 70% of games (home games).
Slavia Praha in-play and half-time data (last 62 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 87% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; they lead at the break 52% of the time; of the 7 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 71%; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 42%; they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Plzen 61% versus Slavia Praha 50%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Plzen 66% | Slavia Praha 63%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Plzen 1.38 xG and Slavia Praha 1.54 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: Plzen attack 1.258 / defence 0.990 | Slavia Praha attack 1.233 / defence 0.707. League average goals — home 1.555 / away 1.261. Plzen carry an above-average attack rating of 1.258 — their 1.38 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Slavia Praha bring a tight defence (rating 0.707, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling Plzen's projected output down. Slavia Praha have an above-average attack rating of 1.233, which lifts their away xG to 1.54. Data: built from Plzen's last 57 games and Slavia Praha's last 57.
Result probabilities: Plzen 34% | Draw 26% | Slavia Praha 41%. Fair-value odds: Plzen 2.98 | Draw 3.87 | Slavia Praha 2.47. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS Yes probability 59% | Total xG 2.92. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.92 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.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Slavia Praha at 41% — marginal model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Slavia Praha offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. 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 2.92 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 56% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Plzen's last 10 home games and Slavia Praha's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 59% on Yes. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Plzen 50% (last 10 home games) | Slavia Praha 50% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Plzen beat Slavia Praha 1-0 at Doosan Aréna, Regular Season - 28, in the Czech Liga. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Plzen 1.38 xG and Slavia Praha 1.54 xG, a combined 2.92. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Slavia Praha landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Plzen attack 1.26 / defence 0.99 against Slavia Praha attack 1.23 / defence 0.71, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Plzen 34% | Draw 26% | Slavia Praha 41%, with Slavia Praha to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual Plzen win had been the model's second-ranked read at 34%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 56%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 80% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 59% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 64% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Plzen 66%, Slavia Praha 63%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Plzen's trading profile (62 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did not.
Slavia Praha's trading profile (62 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
On form, Slavia Praha arrived the stronger side — 2.35 PPG against 1.87. Form was overturned, with Plzen winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Plzen (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.17 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.17 average — tighter than their form line. Slavia Praha (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.87 scoring average — below par going forward.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
