Where the two sides stand. Full tables

The two sides

FK Jablonec carry a model rating of 6.55 against 6.79 for Baník Ostrava. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

Recent form (most recent last): FK Jablonec W-W-W; Baník Ostrava W-L-L.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.13 goals for FK Jablonec and 1.29 for Baník Ostrava. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

FK Jablonec rate 0.69 in attack and 1.26 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Baník Ostrava rate 0.73 and 0.87.

That points to 44% for over two and a half goals and 50% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (14%), 0-1 (11%), 0-0 (10%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour FK Jablonec, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
