The chance that the player scores at least once, overtime included: his share of his team’s goals this season (recent games count more) times the goals we expect from his team. Tested on two NHL seasons. There is no lineup feed: a player who sits out keeps his row and counts as a miss.

Who will win Spišská Nová Ves vs Banská Bystrica?

Spišská Nová Ves are the pick at 59% to beat Banská Bystrica, with a projected 3–2 final score.

Spišská Nová Ves hold the higher position in the table, 5th against Banská Bystrica's 7th, and the ratings back that gap. Adjusted for the opponents each side has faced, Spišská Nová Ves sit at +0.12 goals per game against an average team and Banská Bystrica at +0.08, so the hosts' edge on neutral ground is narrow at 0.04 goals. Home ice, worth about 0.49 goals a game in this league, is what turns that slim margin into a clear lean toward the home side.

Recent form is level on results: both teams have won 2 of their last 5. The difference sits in how those games were played. Spišská Nová Ves have scored 2.0 and allowed 2.6 goals a game over that stretch, while Banská Bystrica have scored 3.4 and allowed 3.6, so the visitors' games have been far more open at both ends. That scoring pattern gives Banská Bystrica a case if the game turns into a track meet, but it also means they concede at a rate that a home side can exploit.

The head-to-head sample is small, just 1 recent meeting, and it went Spišská Nová Ves's way; the latest finished Banská Bystrica 2–3 Spišská Nová Ves on 2026-09-20. In regulation the model gives Spišská Nová Ves 49% to win inside 60 minutes and puts the chance of a tie after three periods at 19%, with overtime and a shootout deciding it from there. That regulation figure is the reason the overall win probability sits at 59% rather than higher: a good share of the host's edge is carried into the extra period rather than settled in 60 minutes.

The projected 3–2 scoreline sits one goal above the 5.5 total line, yet our numbers put the under at 52% with 5.8 projected goals, so the two readings are close and the under holds only a slight edge. On the puck line, Spišská Nová Ves −1.5 is priced at 33%, meaning the model expects the game to be decided by a single goal far more often than not, which fits a 3–2 projection.

Spišská Nová Ves to win, overtime and shootout included, at 59%, with a projected score of 3–2.
