Graz face Sparta Praha in ice hockey, in Minsk Cup, on 28 August 2026. PropickAI's Glicko-2 model makes Sparta Praha the favourite, with a win probability of about 61%. The bookmaker consensus (3 books) implies about 62% for the same outcome. The model puts the chance of a draw at 18%.

Latest form: Graz 0 won, 0 drawn and 1 lost; Sparta Praha 2 won, 1 drawn and 0 lost. On the Glicko scale it is 1328 for Graz against 1681 for Sparta Praha - a gap of 353 points.

Our model and the market consensus broadly agree on this match. Model confidence in the favourite is moderate. That is a 1-point gap to the market. The favourite's edge is moderate, so a protective market (double chance or draw-no-bet) is steadier than a single outright bet. Key markers: an edge of 353 Glicko rating points, the model's 61% for Sparta Praha. Read on for team stats, previous meetings, the bookmaker line and the PropickAI AI prediction.

Market and Glicko

Hockey math model. The hockey model separates regulation and moneyline: it accounts for Glicko-2, goaltender, shots, OT/SO and the total. We do not overweight goal differential, because empty-net and overtime can distort team strength.
