General match analysis
Sparta Praha has a clear advantage in chance quality and home offense: they average 2.35 goals per game with xG 1.99, 17 shots and 6.35 shots on target per match, whereas Hradec away averages 1.35 goals with xG 1.28, 10.41 shots and 4.18 shots on target. Over the season Sparta scored 66 goals versus Hradec's 49, and hosts concede 1.24 goals on average at home with xG against 1.16, while Hradec concedes 1.53 goals away with xG against 1.78. Additionally Sparta controls tempo with 66% possession versus Hradec's 44% and posts a 71% home win rate versus Hradec's 35% away win rate; hosts keep a clean sheet in 29% of home matches, visitors only 18%. Hradec, however, has the better recent run (3 wins in the last 5 and 2.0 points per game) compared to Sparta (2 wins and 1.4 points), but that form does not offset the gap in chance creation (xG 1.99 vs 1.28) and the share of matches without scoring (Sparta only 6% of home games without a goal versus 24% of Hradec away). Considering the advantage in xG, shot volume and possession, I predict a Sparta win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Sparta Praha at home averages 1.53 goals scored and concedes only 0.76, keeping a clean sheet in 53% of home matches with a season BTTS of 41%. Hradec Králové averages 1.35 goals and 1.53 conceded per match, season BTTS 59% and in the last 5 matches BTTS is 60%, while away average shots on target are 4.18 vs Sparta's 3.94. In the last 5 matches Sparta records only 20% BTTS and 1.2 goals per game, whereas Hradec has 60% BTTS and 1.4 goals per game, producing conflicting signals but with a defensive edge for the home side. Additionally Sparta actually concedes 0.76 goals against an xG against of 1.63 (defending better than xG suggests) and has 66 goals scored and 36 conceded this season, therefore the stronger signal is No Goal/Goal not to occur. On this basis I tip BTTS - No with a probability of 62% vs 38% for BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The forecast is based on xG and seasonal statistics: projected xG is approximately 1.56 for Sparta (attack xG 1.34 and opponent/home defense xG 1.78) and about 1.46 for Hradec (1.28 and 1.63), total ≈3.02 expected goals. Historically both teams have a high share of matches over 1.5 goals – 71% for the home side and 71% for the away side – and Sparta averages 1.53 goals versus Hradec’s 1.35, hence a strong signal for Over 1.5 (I assess 75%). The 2.5 line is more balanced: seasonally Over 2.5 occurs in 47% of matches for both teams, the league has 48% Over 2.5, but the xG-sum of 3.02 and an estimate from shots and conversion (Sparta ~10.82×14%≈1.51, Hradec ~10.41×13%≈1.35, sum ≈2.86) give a slight edge to Over 2.5 (≈55%). Over 3.5 remains unlikely: seasonal values are 18% for Sparta and 35% for Hradec (average ≈26%), so I estimate about a 26% chance for Over 3.5. Additionally Sparta has 53% of matches with a clean sheet, which lowers the risk of both teams scoring, while Hradec has 59% of matches with both teams scoring; the balance of these indicators and the projected xG suggests choosing Over 1.5 as the best line to play.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Sparta has a clear advantage in home statistics: hosts led at the break in 53% of matches (9 times) and average 0.82 goals in the first half versus Hradec’s 0.65, with average first-half goals conceded 0.35 vs 0.59. Over a full match Sparta scores 1.53 goals on average and collects 2.0 points per home game, while Hradec has 1.35 goals per match and 1.29 points per match, and the home win rate is 59% versus 35% for the visitors. Additionally, Sparta has 53% clean sheets on the season and 65% clean halves, whereas Hradec has only 18% clean sheets despite 53% clean halves, suggesting visitors more often concede after the break. xG shows similar values: 1.34 for Sparta versus 1.28 for Hradec, with Hradec allowing 1.78 expected goals to opponents versus 1.63 for Sparta, which increases the likelihood that the hosts will maintain a lead. On this basis, the most likely HT/FT scenario is 1/1 (42%), with moderate chances for X/1 (11%) and X/X (17%).
