Beşiktaş vs Hradec Králové: Under 2.5 goals
Beşiktaş and Hradec Králové both sit on an expected‑goals rate of 1.0, yet the model assigns a 67.7% chance of fewer than 2.5 goals – a clear signal for a tight, low‑scoring affair.
Both sides arrive with spotless defensive records – Beşiktaş have kept every opponent scoreless at home (0.0 goals against) and Hradec Králové have not let in a goal away in their two recent league outings, despite a recent defeat. The recent 0‑1 win for Beşiktaş over Hradec Králové underlines the defensive discipline each team brings.
Robbo's Verdict
The model assigns a 67.7% chance of fewer than 2.5 goals, driven by both teams’ zero‑goals‑against averages and identical 1.0 xG rates.
Show the maths
With Beşiktaş averaging 1.0 expected goals and Hradec Králové averaging 1.0, the model gives a 60.0% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 40.0% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.0 (Beşiktaş 1.0 + Hradec Králové 1.0) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 67.7% chance against 32.3% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Beşiktaş at 34.6%, the draw at 30.9%, and Hradec Králové at 34.6% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 13.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Beşiktaş
Beşiktaş have won their last three league encounters, beating FC Midtjylland 1‑0 at home, then 2‑0 away, and most recently winning 1‑0 away at Hradec Králové.
