Analysis
Jong AZ make the trip to Cambuur Stadion to face Cambuur in Eerste Divisie (matchday 19). The match kicks off on Friday 15 December 2023 at 19:00 UK time.
Form & Momentum
Cambuur have collected 1.80 PPG across their last 10 games: 5W 3D 2L. Last five: W D W D W. They are averaging 2.50 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. Both teams have scored in 100% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.
Cambuur at home: 5W 3D 2L from their last 10 home games — 1.80 PPG on home soil. They are averaging 2.40 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
Jong AZ's record over their last 10 games: 4W 2D 4L (1.40 PPG). Last five: W W L L D. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).
When travelling, Jong AZ have posted 3W 2D 5L from their last 10 away outings — 1.10 PPG. Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.80 PPG for Cambuur against 1.40 for Jong AZ. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
The BTTS picture is exceptionally clear (from Cambuur's last 10 home games and Jong AZ's last 10 away games) — both teams have scored in 80% of Cambuur's games and 80% of Jong AZ's. Both sides above 70% makes BTTS Yes one of the strongest standalone angles in this fixture.
Trading Data
Cambuur goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 52 games, 25 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 69% of the time; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 76% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 40%; they fail to score in 38% of games.
Jong AZ goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 52 games, 25 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 69% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 54% of those occasions; of the 23 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 26%; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 40%; they fail to score in 31% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Cambuur 54% versus Jong AZ 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Cambuur 69% | Jong AZ 60%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Cambuur 2.29 xG and Jong AZ 1.39 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: Cambuur attack 1.164 / defence 1.217 | Jong AZ attack 0.832 / defence 1.249. League average goals — home 1.575 / away 1.369. Jong AZ's defence rating of 1.249 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Cambuur's projected output up. Cambuur's defence rating of 1.217 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Jong AZ's projected output up. Data: built from Cambuur's last 18 games and Jong AZ's last 56.
Result probabilities: Cambuur 57% | Draw 22% | Jong AZ 22%. Fair-value odds: Cambuur 1.76 | Draw 4.60 | Jong AZ 4.64. The model has a clear lean to Cambuur (57%) — a 35pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 71% | BTTS Yes probability 68% | Total xG 3.68. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 71% — a total xG of 3.68 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 68% — both xG figures (2.29 / 1.39) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Cambuur as the most likely outcome at 57% — clear model lean. 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 3.68 combined xG gives a 71% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Cambuur's last 10 home games and Jong AZ's last 10 away games) averaging 3.6 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 68%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Cambuur 80% (last 10 home games) | Jong AZ 80% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Jong AZ beat Cambuur 1-2 at Cambuur Stadion, Regular Season - 19, in the Eerste Divisie. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Cambuur 2.29 xG and Jong AZ 1.39 xG, a combined 3.68. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Cambuur fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Cambuur attack 1.16 / defence 1.22 against Jong AZ attack 0.83 / defence 1.25, drawn from 18/56 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Cambuur 57% | Draw 22% | Jong AZ 22%, with Cambuur to win its most likely call at 57%. Instead the game produced a Jong AZ win, an outcome the model had rated at just 22% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 71%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 89% and landed. Over 3.5 was 50% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 68% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 64% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Cambuur 69%, Jong AZ 60%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Cambuur's trading profile (52 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did.
Jong AZ's trading profile (52 games, 25 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Cambuur 0.96 PPG, Jong AZ 1.29 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Jong AZ win broke the near-deadlock. Jong AZ (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.12 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 1 against a 2.00 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
