📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Sportpark De Toekomst, Regular Season - 34, as Jong Ajax and Vitesse drew 1-1 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 Jong Ajax 1.67 xG and Vitesse 1.25 xG, a combined 2.92. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Jong Ajax attack 0.81 / defence 0.97 against Vitesse attack 1.03 / defence 1.23, drawn from 71/33 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Jong Ajax 47% | Draw 25% | Vitesse 29%, with Jong Ajax to win its most likely call at 47%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 56%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 79% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 60% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Jong Ajax 58%, Vitesse 61%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Jong Ajax's trading profile (67 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did.

Vitesse's trading profile (67 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Jong Ajax 1.06 PPG, Vitesse 0.90 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Vitesse (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 2.45 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
