1.67Marathonbet · fair 1.49 · qualifies at 1.54+ · 2.00u
Why this price?

Back Plzen +0.25 on the Asian handicap at 1.67 with Marathonbet — Plzen starts 0.25 goals ahead, so a narrow defeat can still win the bet.

Our model puts the chance at 73% and the bookmakers' own consensus, margin removed, at 63%; we judge it at 67%, weighting the market more than the model, which is a fair price of 1.49. The offered 1.67 implies only 60%, so the price is 11.8% better than our estimate says it should be. That gap is the edge.

Stake 2.00 units of a 100-unit bank: the size follows the edge (a quarter-Kelly fraction), never more than 2 units.

Projected goals: Baník Ostrava 1.12, Plzen 1.75.

The edge is an estimate and carries model error; it can be wrong, and a losing run is normal.

A positive gap means our probability is higher than the price implies. That is information, not a recommendation: a pick is only published where the gap clears our bar after allowing for model error, and those appear above.

Plzen favoured against Baník Ostrava

Our model makes Baník Ostrava 24% to win this Chance Liga fixture, with the draw at 25% and Plzen at 52%. The goal projection is 1.12 for Baník Ostrava against 1.75 for Plzen — a substantial edge to Plzen on expected output. A combined 2.88 goals points to an open game around the league average, which puts over 2.5 at 55% and both teams to score at 56%. The single most likely scoreline is 1-1 at 12%, though no individual scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of a low-scoring sport. This sits in the awkward middle of the distribution, where the model has a view but not a strong one. All figures come from a Dixon–Coles adjusted Poisson model fitted on recent results and expected goals. They are estimates, not forecasts of fact.
