📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Excelsior beat Jong PSV U21 5-0 at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion, Regular Season - 37, in the Eerste Divisie. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Excelsior 2.05 xG and Jong PSV U21 0.91 xG, a combined 2.97. The scoreboard read 5-0 for 5 actual goals. Excelsior beat their projection by 2.9 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Jong PSV U21 landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Excelsior attack 0.99 / defence 0.77 against Jong PSV U21 attack 0.96 / defence 1.24, drawn from 36/74 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Excelsior 63% | Draw 22% | Jong PSV U21 15%, with Excelsior to win its most likely call at 63%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 57%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 80% and landed. Over 3.5 was 35% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 53% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 72% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Excelsior 69%, Jong PSV U21 76%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 66%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Excelsior's trading profile (74 games, 37 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.

Excelsior (home/away splits) scored 5 against a 1.97 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.16 average — tighter than their form line. Jong PSV U21 (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.43 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 5 against a 2.16 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
