Their attacking form is sharp — 2.20 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation.

Head-to-Head

Historically, De Graafschap have had the better of this match-up — 4 wins from 7 meetings, with Telstar managing just 1 victories and 2 draws shared.

Attacking output has been a hallmark of this fixture. At 2.9 goals per game across 7 meetings, the Over 2.5 has a statistically grounded case from the head-to-head record alone. The most recent clash, on 12 Oct 2024, ended 2–2 with a draw.

From a betting standpoint, the H2H backs both De Graafschap and goals. The home side's 4 wins from 7 meetings, combined with an average of 2.9 goals per game, gives the home win and Over 2.5 combination a historically grounded case.

Trading Data

De Graafschap goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (74 games, 37 at home): they score before half-time in 84% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 69% of the time; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 39%.

Telstar goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (74 games, 37 at away): they score before half-time in 81% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 51% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 51% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — De Graafschap 61% versus Telstar 55%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (De Graafschap 65% | Telstar 58%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects De Graafschap 1.89 xG and Telstar 1.00 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: De Graafschap attack 1.184 / defence 0.721 | Telstar attack 1.116 / defence 0.955. League average goals — home 1.670 / away 1.241. De Graafschap's defence rating of 0.721 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 74 De Graafschap games / 74 Telstar games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: De Graafschap 57% | Draw 24% | Telstar 19%. Fair-value odds: De Graafschap 1.75 | Draw 4.17 | Telstar 5.26. The model has a clear lean to De Graafschap (57%) — a 38pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.89. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.89 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates De Graafschap as the most likely outcome at 57% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 24% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 2.89 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 55% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 2.9 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 54% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: De Graafschap 40% | Telstar 50%.
