Smiltene vs Rēzekne FA
Match Preview
The model favours Rēzekne FA to win this match, projecting a scoreline of 2-1. Both teams are struggling in the league, but Rēzekne FA holds a slight edge in their overall performance this season. Currently sitting in 13th place, they have secured one win, two draws, and nine losses from their 12 matches, scoring 10 goals while conceding 36, giving them a goal difference of -26. Despite their difficulties, their recent form shows a flicker of hope with one win and one draw in their last five matches. On the other hand, Smiltene finds themselves at the bottom of the table in 14th place, with no wins so far this season. Their record stands at four draws and eight losses, with 12 goals scored and 33 conceded, resulting in a goal difference of -21. Their recent form has not improved, as they have managed just one win in their last five matches, with the majority of those resulting in losses. The model gives Rēzekne FA a win probability of 45%, while Smiltene's chances sit at 25%. The key market percentage indicates that Rēzekne FA is considered the favourite to win. However, a potential caveat is that both teams have been inconsistent, and if Smiltene can find some momentum, they might pull off an upset.

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.
