Match Analysis
České Budějovice host Zlin at Fotbalový stadion Střelecký ostrov in Czech Liga, Regular Season - 27. Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday 2 April 2022 at 15:00 UTC.
Form Guide
České Budějovice — All Games: 2W 5D 3L from 10 Czech Liga outings this season, averaging 1.10 points per game. Last five: L D D W L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for České Budějovice, so this record blends games from this season and last.
At home at Fotbalový stadion Střelecký ostrov, České Budějovice have gone 6W 2D 2L this season (10 games, 2.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.10 — České Budějovice are significantly better at Fotbalový stadion Střelecký ostrov than their overall form suggests.
Looking at all fixtures this season, Zlin stand at 4W 1D 5L from 10 Czech Liga matches — 1.30 PPG. Last five: W L L L W. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Zlin, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Zlin's away record: 1W 2D 7L from 10 road trips in Czech Liga this season (0.50 PPG). Away from home they average 0.50 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.50 is notably below their overall 1.30 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: České Budějovice 1.10 PPG, Zlin 1.30 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
Head to Head
There is little to separate the sides historically. From 1 previous meetings, České Budějovice have won 0, Zlin 1, with 0 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.
The 1 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 30 Oct 2021, ended 0–2 with Zlin winning.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
In-Play Data
České Budějovice trading profile (26 games, 12 at home): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 46%; they fail to score in 31% of games.
Zlin trading profile (26 games, 12 at away): they score before half-time in 58% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — České Budějovice 58% versus Zlin 54%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (České Budějovice 58% | Zlin 58%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects České Budějovice 1.47 xG and Zlin 0.69 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: České Budějovice attack 0.983 / defence 0.984 | Zlin attack 0.607 / defence 1.342. League average goals — home 1.114 / away 1.153. Zlin bring a strong defensive rating of 1.342 — this is suppressing České Budějovice's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 26 České Budějovice games / 26 Zlin games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: České Budějovice 56% | Draw 27% | Zlin 17%. Fair-value odds: České Budějovice 1.79 | Draw 3.70 | Zlin 5.88. The model has a clear lean to České Budějovice (56%) — a 39pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 37% | BTTS probability 38% | Total xG 2.16. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 63% — total xG of 2.16 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 38% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates České Budějovice as the most likely outcome at 56% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 27% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 2.16 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 37% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 38% on No. Form rates are neutral: České Budějovice 60% | Zlin 40%.

The Model vs The Result

Those figures were built on strength ratings of České Budějovice attack 0.98 / defence 0.98 against Zlin attack 0.61 / defence 1.34, drawn from 26/26 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it České Budějovice 56% | Draw 27% | Zlin 17%, with České Budějovice to win its most likely call at 56%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

On both teams to score, the model sat at 38% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (České Budějovice 58%, Zlin 58%), a base rate that agreed with today's over.

České Budějovice's trading profile (26 games, 12 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did.
Zlin's trading profile (26 games, 12 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result

Verdict
