📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Jong Ajax beat Willem II 2-1 at Sportcomplex De Toekomst, Regular Season - 25, 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 1.37 xG and Willem II 1.52 xG, a combined 2.89. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 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 0.80 / defence 1.04 against Willem II attack 0.94 / defence 0.97, drawn from 61/23 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Jong Ajax 33% | Draw 28% | Willem II 39%, with Willem II to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual Jong Ajax win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 80% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Jong Ajax 54%, Willem II 51%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Jong Ajax's trading profile (61 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did.

Willem II's trading profile (61 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Jong Ajax 0.85 PPG, Willem II 1.08 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Jong Ajax win broke the near-deadlock. Jong Ajax (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.16 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
