Mladá Boleslav have a clear attacking edge: their average xG stands at 1.64 compared with Slovácko’s 0.89, while shots on target are 6.0 to just 1.5. The visitors concede an average of 3.0 goals per match and allow opponents an xG of 1.73, which supports the likelihood of the hosts taking the lead at the break.
