Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, FK Jablonec have gone 5W 1D 4L — a 1.60 PPG return. Last five: W L W L W. They are averaging 2.10 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.

FK Jablonec's home record over their last 10 home games: 7W 1D 2L (2.20 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 7 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (70%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 2.20 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.60 — FK Jablonec are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Looking at their last 10 matches, Dukla Praha stand at 1W 2D 7L — 0.50 PPG. Last five: L L L D L. Their scoring rate of 0.80 per game is modest, conceding 2.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.40 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

On the road, Dukla Praha have gone 0W 2D 6L in their last 8 away fixtures (0.25 PPG). Away from home they average 0.38 goals scored and 2.25 conceded per game.

FK Jablonec are in the better shape of the two on recent form — 1.10 PPG ahead (1.60 vs 0.50). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.

H2H

The H2H picture is flat: the 1 H2H match we hold have produced 1 wins for FK Jablonec, 0 for Dukla 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 averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 10 Aug 2024, ended FK Jablonec 2–0 Dukla Praha — a FK Jablonec win.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading Patterns

FK Jablonec in-play and half-time data (last 17 games, 8 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 53% of the time; they fail to score in 35% of games.

Dukla Praha in-play and half-time data (last 17 games, 8 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; of the 10 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 30%; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); they fail to score in 41% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — FK Jablonec 29% versus Dukla Praha 47%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (FK Jablonec 47% | Dukla Praha 53%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FK Jablonec 3.11 xG and Dukla Praha 0.52 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: FK Jablonec attack 1.429 / defence 0.756 | Dukla Praha attack 0.590 / defence 1.460. League average goals — home 1.492 / away 1.173. FK Jablonec carry an above-average attack rating of 1.429 — their 3.11 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Dukla Praha's defence rating of 1.460 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing FK Jablonec's projected output up. Dukla Praha's attack rating of 0.590 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.52. FK Jablonec have a tight defence (rating 0.756), which is pulling Dukla Praha's projected output down. Data: built from FK Jablonec's last 47 games and Dukla Praha's last 17.

Result probabilities: FK Jablonec 87% | Draw 11% | Dukla Praha 3%. Fair-value odds: FK Jablonec 1.15 | Draw 9.46 | Dukla Praha 35.97. The model has a clear lean to FK Jablonec (87%) — a 76pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS Yes probability 40% | Total xG 3.64. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 70% — a total xG of 3.64 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 No at 60% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is FK Jablonec at 87% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.64 combined xG gives a 70% probability to Over 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

Poisson assigns a 60% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: FK Jablonec 30% (last 10 home games) | Dukla Praha 38% (last 8 away games).
