The two sides

Mlada Boleslav carry a model rating of 6.56 against 6.82 for Sparta Praha. 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): Mlada Boleslav W-D; Sparta Praha L-W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.45 goals for Mlada Boleslav and 1.81 for Sparta Praha. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Mlada Boleslav rate 0.81 in attack and 1.47 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Sparta Praha rate 0.88 and 0.95.

That points to 63% for over two and a half goals and 65% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 1-2 (9%), 2-1 (7%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Mlada Boleslav, 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.
