📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Jong Ajax beat Vitesse 2-0 at Sportcomplex De Toekomst, Regular Season - 18, in the Eerste Divisie. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Jong Ajax 1.38 xG and Vitesse 1.93 xG, a combined 3.31. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Vitesse landed 1.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Jong Ajax attack 0.77 / defence 1.13 against Vitesse attack 1.18 / defence 1.05, drawn from 55/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Jong Ajax 27% | Draw 23% | Vitesse 50%, with Vitesse to win its most likely call at 50%. The actual Jong Ajax win had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 64%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 84% and landed. Over 3.5 was 42% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 64% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 61% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Jong Ajax 53%, Vitesse 70%), 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

Jong Ajax's trading profile (53 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not.

Vitesse's trading profile (53 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Vitesse arrived the stronger side — 1.25 PPG against 0.81. Form was overturned, with Jong Ajax winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Jong Ajax (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.19 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.22 average — tighter than their form line. Vitesse (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.63 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
