Hradec Králové vs Slavia Praha: match statistics

I expect a Slavia Praha win: the visitors have 73 goals this season versus Hradec’s 46 and have scored 13 goals in the last 5 matches compared to the hosts’ 6, indicating a clear offensive edge. Slavia creates significantly more chances — on average 15.25 shots and 5.06 on target per away match with xG 1.79, while Hradec at home averages 10.69 shots, 3.75 on target and xG 1.32, so the visitors have superiority in both quantity and quality of opportunities. Hradec’s defense is, however, strong at home: the hosts concede only 0.75 goals on average and have 56% of matches with a clean sheet, whereas Slavia concedes 0.88 away and has 31% clean sheets; additionally Slavia fails to score in only 6% of away matches versus Hradec’s 19% of home games without a goal. In form, Slavia have won 4 of the last 5 and average 2.4 points per match in this period, Hradec have won 3 of 5 and average 2.0 points per match, giving the visitors an advantage in momentum. Considering 1.79 xG vs 1.32 xG, 15.25 vs 10.69 shots and 73 vs 46 goals this season, I assign a 60% probability to a Slavia win, 20% to a draw and 20% to a home win.

BTTS - Yes looks more likely given seasonal BTTS rates of 53% for Hradec and 69% for Slavia (league 52%), with Hradec recording BTTS in 60% of its last 5 matches versus Slavia at 100% (3/5 vs 5/5). Both teams generate chances: seasonal xG is 2.31 for Hradec and 1.79 for Slavia, while in the last 5 matches Slavia averages 2.1 xG and 2.6 goals scored compared to Hradec’s 1.15 xG and 1.2 goals scored. Hradec averages 20.18 shots and 7.71 shots on target per home match with a 13% conversion, Slavia records 15.25 shots and 5.06 on target with a 12% conversion, indicating both sides can create and convert opportunities. Although Hradec has a higher season clean sheet percentage (47% vs 31%), its last 5 games show opposition xG rising to 1.98 and conceding on average 1.0 goal, while Slavia scores 2.6 goals on average in the last 5, increasing the risk of goals from both sides. Considering the above figures, the low proportions of failing to score (12% for Hradec and 6% for Slavia) and Slavia’s form, I assess the probability of BTTS at about 76% versus 24% for No Goal.

Average xG projects 1.71 goals for Hradec Králové and 1.44 for Slavia Praha, totalling 3.15 goals (calculated as the average of home attack xG 2.31 and away defense xG 1.11, and away attack xG 1.79 and home defense xG 1.09). Both teams have a high share of matches over 1.5 goals: Hradec 82% and Slavia 88%. In the last 5 fixtures the hosts scored 6 goals (1.2 avg) and the visitors 13 (2.6 avg), a combined 3.8 goals per game. At home Hradec averages 20.18 shots and 7.71 on target versus Slavia’s 15.25/5.06, with conversion rates 13% vs 12%, indicating greater creation and finishing potential from the hosts; this supports an Over 2.5 goals scenario (seasonOver25: 71% Hradec vs 44% Slavia). Additionally, the Both Teams To Score rate is 53% for Hradec and 69% for Slavia, increasing the likelihood of a multi-goal match. Consequently the strongest and safest signal is Over 1.5 (estimated probability 86%), Over 2.5 looks likely at around 63%, while Over 3.5 is less probable (~35%) with a combined xG=3.15.

The most likely HT/FT scenario is a draw at half-time and a Hradec win at full-time (X/1). A draw at the break is common — Hradec were level at half-time in 47% of matches, Slavia in 38%, and in Slavia’s last five away games they averaged 1.4 goals by half-time, which points to an even score at the break. The decisive numbers come from the second half: Hradec average 1.53 goals after the interval versus Slavia’s 0.88, and Hradec have scored 14 goals in the 46–60 minute window while Slavia only 2, giving Hradec the advantage immediately after the restart. The home side’s overall superiority is supported by season-long data — Hradec average 2.53 goals per game and have an 82% home win rate, higher xG 2.31 vs 1.79 and more shots on target 7.71 vs 5.06, so I expect a turnaround in Hradec’s favor after half-time.
