Up to 5 matches before kick-off, most recent first. The model works from each side's rolling expected-goals ratings rather than from these results directly, so read them as context.

The two sides

Rīgas FS carry a model rating of 6.28 against 6.55 for FK Jablonec. 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): Rīgas FS W-W-W-D-L; FK Jablonec W-W-W.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.26 goals for Rīgas FS and 1.60 for FK Jablonec. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Rīgas FS rate 0.53 in attack and 1.66 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FK Jablonec rate 0.69 and 1.26.

That points to 55% for over two and a half goals and 58% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12%), 1-2 (9%), 0-1 (9%).
