The two sides
Hradec Králové carry a model rating of 6.97 against 6.77 for Plzen. 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): Hradec Králové W-D-W; Plzen L-D-D-W.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 2.24 goals for Hradec Králové and 1.12 for Plzen. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Hradec Králové rate 1.05 in attack and 0.83 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Plzen rate 0.96 and 1.13.
That points to 65% for over two and a half goals and 61% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (10%), 1-1 (9%), 2-0 (9%).
