The Model vs The Result

Goals & Markets

On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 62% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Helmond Sport 61%, MVV 64%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 61%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

MVV (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.30 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 4 against a 1.79 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
