📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Helmond Sport and Den Bosch finished level at 0-0 at GS Staalwerken Stadion, Regular Season - 18, 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 Helmond Sport 1.50 xG and Den Bosch 1.44 xG, a combined 2.94. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Helmond Sport fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Den Bosch landed 1.4 under their projected return.

On the result, the model split it Helmond Sport 38% | Draw 26% | Den Bosch 36%, with Helmond Sport to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 56%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 80% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 59% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Helmond Sport 60%, Den Bosch 58%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Helmond Sport's trading profile (55 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.

Den Bosch's trading profile (55 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Helmond Sport 1.47 PPG, Den Bosch 1.11 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Helmond Sport (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.78 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.26 average — tighter than their form line. Den Bosch (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.07 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.48 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
