Game Score has published predictions for the complete 10th round of the Tipsport Extraliga. Hradec Králové, hosting Olomouc, is the strongest favourite, with its win probability approaching 80%. Sparta Praha is above 70% at home against Vítkovice, while Mladá Boleslav, Karlovy Vary and Pardubice each have chances above 60% against Litvínov, Kladno and Třinec respectively.
The model expects closer games in České Budějovice, where Liberec is a slight favourite, and Brno, where Kometa has a small edge over Plzeň. Mladá Boleslav needs points, the article says, having so far moved only Olomouc below it in the standings. Game Score rates the Bruslaři more highly than bookmakers do.
Pardubice could become the first team to beat Třinec this season. The defending champions are favoured by the model despite Jan Košťálek’s absence, and are rated more strongly than by bookmakers. The predictions use current rosters, including injuries and suspensions, home advantage and the results of 50,000 simulations. The model picked match winners correctly in 62% of games last season.
