Match Preview

The model favours JFK Ventspils to win this match, projecting a scoreline of 2-1. Ventspils currently holds the 12th position in the league, having accumulated 6 points from 9 matches. Their season has been challenging, with 1 win, 3 draws, and 5 losses. However, they have shown some resilience, scoring 11 goals while conceding 17, resulting in a goal difference of -6. Their recent form includes two wins in their last five matches, suggesting a slight uptick in performance. In contrast, Rēzekne FA sits at the bottom of the table in 14th place with only 4 points from 10 matches. Their record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 8 losses is concerning, particularly given their goal tally of just 7 against 31 conceded, leading to a significant goal difference of -24. Rēzekne has struggled to find form, with only one win in their last five matches, indicating ongoing issues in both attack and defense. The model assigns a win probability of 55% for JFK Ventspils, with the projected score of 2-1 reflecting their slightly better position and form. One key market percentage to note is their current odds reflecting a reasonable chance of victory. However, the caveat lies in the unpredictability of football; if Rēzekne can find a way to score early or disrupt Ventspils' rhythm, the game could take an unexpected turn. The Daily Punt Analysis Team employs an in-house model that evaluates fixtures through expected goals and actual results across the season.

The Daily Punt Analysis Team

Data-driven football predictions and betting tips

This forecast was built by the The Daily Punt Analysis Team using our in-house statistical model. We feed the model two layers of data for every fixture: each team's recent expected goals (xG and xGA) and their actual goals scored and conceded, split by home and away venue. The numbers run through a Poisson distribution that produces a probability for every possible scoreline, which we then convert into fair odds for the 1X2, correct score, BTTS, and over/under markets.

Before publishing, we cross-check our fair odds against the prices the major bookmakers are offering. Where a bookmaker is paying out more than our model says is mathematically fair, we flag that market as a value bet on this page.
