Match Analysis

Hradec Králové host FK Jablonec at Malšovická Aréna in Czech Liga, Regular Season - 9. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 24 September 2023 at 14:00 UTC.

Form Analysis

Looking at all fixtures this season, Hradec Králové stand at 3W 1D 6L from 10 Czech Liga matches — 1.00 PPG. Last five: L W L L L. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 2.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.20 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Hradec Králové, so this record blends games from this season and last.
