Full Analysis
Rat Verlegh Stadion plays host to NAC Breda versus Den Bosch in Eerste Divisie (matchday 16). Kick-off: Friday 24 November 2023 at 19:00 UK time.
Form & Momentum
NAC Breda have collected 1.50 PPG across their last 10 games: 4W 3D 3L. Last five: W D L D W. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.60 conceded. Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.
In front of their own supporters, NAC Breda have posted 4W 2D 4L from their last 10 home games — 1.40 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
Den Bosch (all games): 2W 1D 7L across their last 10 — 0.70 points per game. Last five: L L D L L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 2.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.30 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
Den Bosch away from home: 2W 1D 7L from their last 10 away games — 0.70 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game.
Form favours the hosts. NAC Breda's 1.50 PPG return is 0.80 points per game ahead of Den Bosch's 0.70 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.
Head-to-Head
Neither side has dominated the 4 H2H matches in our data: 3 wins for NAC Breda, 1 for Den Bosch and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral.
The 4 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.5 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 7 Apr 2023, ended NAC Breda 2–0 Den Bosch — a NAC Breda win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.5 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading & In-Play
NAC Breda — key trading statistics (last 53 games, 26 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 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 88% of those occasions; of the 18 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 28%; BTTS occurs in 77% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 43%.
Den Bosch — key trading statistics (last 53 games, 26 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 77% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 42%; they fail to score in 32% of games.
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — NAC Breda 76% and Den Bosch 57% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (NAC Breda 68% | Den Bosch 68%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects NAC Breda 2.12 xG and Den Bosch 1.30 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: NAC Breda attack 1.030 / defence 1.157 | Den Bosch attack 0.810 / defence 1.321. League average goals — home 1.558 / away 1.384. Den Bosch's defence rating of 1.321 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing NAC Breda's projected output up. Data: built from NAC Breda's last 53 games and Den Bosch's last 53.
Result probabilities: NAC Breda 55% | Draw 23% | Den Bosch 22%. Fair-value odds: NAC Breda 1.81 | Draw 4.36 | Den Bosch 4.57. The model has a clear lean to NAC Breda (55%) — a 32pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 66% | BTTS Yes probability 65% | Total xG 3.42. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 66% — a total xG of 3.42 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 65% — both xG figures (2.12 / 1.30) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates NAC Breda as the most likely outcome at 55% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 23% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
Poisson projects 3.42 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 66% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (NAC Breda's last 10 home games and Den Bosch's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.5 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 65% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: NAC Breda 80% (last 10 home games) | Den Bosch 40% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
NAC Breda beat Den Bosch 1-0 at Rat Verlegh Stadion, Regular Season - 16, in the Eerste Divisie. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting NAC Breda 2.12 xG and Den Bosch 1.30 xG, a combined 3.42. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. NAC Breda fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Den Bosch landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of NAC Breda attack 1.03 / defence 1.16 against Den Bosch attack 0.81 / defence 1.32, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it NAC Breda 55% | Draw 23% | Den Bosch 22%, with NAC Breda to win its most likely call at 55%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 66%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 87% and missed. Over 3.5 was 44% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 65% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 68% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (NAC Breda 68%, Den Bosch 68%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 66%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
NAC Breda's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 76% of their matches — today it did not.
Den Bosch's trading profile (53 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
On form, NAC Breda arrived the stronger side — 1.47 PPG against 0.85. Form held, and they took the win. NAC Breda (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.58 average — tighter than their form line. Den Bosch (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.88 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 1 against a 2.65 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
