Match Analysis

Dordrecht host Jong Utrecht at Matchoholic Stadion in Eerste Divisie (matchday 6). Kick-off is Friday 15 September 2023 at 20:00 UK time.

Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Dordrecht have gone 2W 4D 4L — a 1.00 PPG return. Last five: D D L D W. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 2.10 conceded. However, 2.10 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Dordrecht's form when playing at home: 2W 4D 4L across their last 10 home games (1.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game.

Jong Utrecht — last 10 games: 3W 2D 5L — 1.10 PPG. Last five: D L W L W. Their scoring rate of 0.50 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No.

Jong Utrecht's form when playing away from home: 0W 0D 10L across their last 10 road games (0.00 PPG). Away from home they average 0.20 goals scored and 2.60 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel. Their away PPG of 0.00 is notably below their overall 1.10 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

The form comparison is too close to call — 1.00 PPG (Dordrecht) versus 1.10 (Jong Utrecht). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.

H2H

Dordrecht hold a clear advantage across the 3 H2H matches in our data, with 3 wins compared to 0 for Jong Utrecht and 0 draws. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.7 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 16 Jan 2023, ended Dordrecht 1–0 Jong Utrecht — a Dordrecht win.

The head-to-head data gives Dordrecht an edge — 3 wins from 3 H2H matches is worth weighing, particularly if the form picture is inconclusive.

In-Play Data

Dordrecht trading profile (last 42 games, 21 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 81% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; of the 15 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 47%; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

Jong Utrecht trading profile (last 42 games, 21 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 81% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 87% of the time; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); they fail to score in 48% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Dordrecht 55% versus Jong Utrecht 40%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Dordrecht 62% | Jong Utrecht 43%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Dordrecht 1.95 xG and Jong Utrecht 1.08 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Dordrecht attack 0.976 / defence 1.101 | Jong Utrecht attack 0.758 / defence 1.202. League average goals — home 1.665 / away 1.298. Jong Utrecht's defence rating of 1.202 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Dordrecht's projected output up. Jong Utrecht's attack rating of 0.758 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.08. Data: built from Dordrecht's last 42 games and Jong Utrecht's last 42.

Result probabilities: Dordrecht 58% | Draw 22% | Jong Utrecht 21%. Fair-value odds: Dordrecht 1.74 | Draw 4.59 | Jong Utrecht 4.84. The model has a clear lean to Dordrecht (58%) — a 36pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS Yes probability 57% | Total xG 3.04. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.04 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 57% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Dordrecht as the most likely outcome at 58% — clear model lean. The head-to-head data (Dordrecht 3 wins from 3 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.04 combined xG gives a 59% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Dordrecht's last 10 home games and Jong Utrecht's last 10 away games) averaging 2.7 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 57% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Dordrecht 50% (last 10 home games) | Jong Utrecht 20% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
