Defensively, conceding just 0.70 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. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.

H2H Record
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 5 H2H matches, Baník Ostrava have won 2, Mlada Boleslav 2, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.

With a balanced win record and just 1.6 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.
In-Play Data
Baník Ostrava trading profile (last 59 games, 28 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 61% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; of the 17 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 29%; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 39%.
Mlada Boleslav trading profile (last 59 games, 28 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 68% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; of the 16 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 37%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Baník Ostrava 48% versus Mlada Boleslav 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Baník Ostrava 51% | Mlada Boleslav 61%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Baník Ostrava 1.53 xG and Mlada Boleslav 1.05 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: Baník Ostrava attack 1.123 / defence 0.761 | Mlada Boleslav attack 1.169 / defence 0.915. League average goals — home 1.486 / away 1.176. Baník Ostrava have a tight defence (rating 0.761), which is pulling Mlada Boleslav's projected output down. Data: built from Baník Ostrava's last 54 games and Mlada Boleslav's last 54.
Result probabilities: Baník Ostrava 47% | Draw 29% | Mlada Boleslav 25%. Fair-value odds: Baník Ostrava 2.13 | Draw 3.50 | Mlada Boleslav 4.08. Baník Ostrava hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.57. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.57 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Baník Ostrava are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Baník Ostrava offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 2.57 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 53% — reasonable conviction, supported by the H2H data averaging 1.6 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 52% on Yes. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Baník Ostrava 40% (last 10 home games) | Mlada Boleslav 60% (last 10 away games).
