Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Slavia Praha 2.49 xG and Karviná 0.57 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: Slavia Praha attack 1.398 / defence 0.769 | Karviná attack 0.566 / defence 1.338. League average goals — home 1.329 / away 1.307. Slavia Praha carry an above-average attack strength of 1.398 — their λ of 2.49 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Karviná bring a strong defensive rating of 1.338 — this is suppressing Slavia Praha's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Slavia Praha's defence rating of 0.769 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 19 Slavia Praha games / 19 Karviná games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Slavia Praha 79% | Draw 14% | Karviná 6%. Fair-value odds: Slavia Praha 1.27 | Draw 7.14 | Karviná 16.67. The model has a clear lean to Slavia Praha (79%) — a 73pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 40% | Total xG 3.06. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.06 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 40% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Slavia Praha as the most likely outcome at 79% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

The Poisson model projects 3.06 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 59% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 40% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Slavia Praha 33% | Karviná 33% BTTS from recent games.
