Model prediction

Why this prediction?

The model puts the most likely outcome at 53.2%: “Slovan Liberec to win”. Second comes “a draw” at 27.1%.
Behind that distribution are the expected goals: 1.56 for Slovan Liberec, 0.88 for Teplice.
The highest double chance value is 80.3% (1X — Slovan Liberec win or draw).
These values were computed from 1,028 past matches.

This is a prediction, not a guarantee; a probability is not a certainty.

These sentences are built by a fixed template; every number in them comes straight from the model's computation, none invented while the text was written.

These values are not a fraction of the full-match prediction; they come from a separate model trained on the first-half scores of 1028 matches. Its edge over the base rate is markedly smaller than the full-match model's — the measured figure is on the accuracy record. Read them more cautiously. First-half goal markets are not published because they failed to beat the base rate.

Expected fouls and corners

Corners

Teplice: at least 3Actual: 8

These figures are set to hold in at least 60% of matches; in the rest the count comes in below them. No upper bound is stated — we make no "at most" claim. Yellow cards were measured and are not published: there our model did not beat the historical average.

What these probabilities rest on

Expected goals comes out of a team's attack weighed against its opponent's defence. A strong attack is damped when it meets a strong defence — which is why comparing the ratings on their own is misleading.

How many goals Slovan Liberec score1.56

Attack: Slovan Liberec score close to the league average.

Opponent's defence: Teplice's defence is close to the league average (1.01×), so it doesn't move the expectation much.

Result: These two effects give an expectation of 1.56 goals (including home advantage).

How many goals Teplice score0.88

Attack: Teplice score below the league average (21% fewer).

Opponent's defence: Slovan Liberec concede 16% fewer than the league average, which pulls the expectation down.

Result: These two effects give an expectation of 0.88 goals (including the away penalty).

Most likely scorelines

1–113.7%1–012.9%2–010.8%

A single scoreline is always less likely than an outcome: “home win” is the sum of 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 and dozens more. So the most likely single score can be a draw while the most likely outcome is a home win; the two do not contradict each other.

Week 2 of the season. This prediction was computed from previous seasons. Summer transfers, budget changes and squad rebuilds aren't in the ratings yet — the model can only see that a team has been rebuilt once new results come in.

We measured this: the bias is only pronounced in the opening week. In this week the model's overall accuracy does not separate from the rest of the season — that is, we found no measurable flaw. The one tendency across all opening weeks is that home wins are called slightly too often (said 43.0%, got 41.9%; n=583).

This sample is small and not statistically established, which is why we do not correct the model for it. The correction we tried (pulling probabilities toward the league average) didn't win on holdout, so it wasn't added. Read opening-week predictions with a little more caution.
