The form comparison is too close to call — 1.70 PPG (Hradec Králové) versus 1.80 (Mlada Boleslav). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.

Head to Head

Despite the anticipated home advantage, Mlada Boleslav have the better historical record — 5 wins from 10 previous contests against 2 for Hradec Králové.

It is worth noting that Mlada Boleslav have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 5 wins from 10 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Hradec Králové 1.65 xG and Mlada Boleslav 1.38 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: Hradec Králové attack 1.110 / defence 0.902 | Mlada Boleslav attack 1.190 / defence 1.052. League average goals — home 1.409 / away 1.288. Data: 35 Hradec Králové games / 35 Mlada Boleslav games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Hradec Králové 43% | Draw 25% | Mlada Boleslav 32%. Fair-value odds: Hradec Králové 2.33 | Draw 4.00 | Mlada Boleslav 3.12. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.03. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.03 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.65 / 1.38) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Hradec Králové at 43% — marginal model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Hradec Králové offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.03 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 58% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: Hradec Králové 50% | Mlada Boleslav 50%.

The outsider holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
