📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

MVV beat Emmen 1-0 at De Geusselt, Regular Season - 8, 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 MVV 1.56 xG and Emmen 1.52 xG, a combined 3.08. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Emmen landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of MVV attack 0.81 / defence 1.16 against Emmen attack 0.98 / defence 1.13, drawn from 45/45 games (CurrentSeason).

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 59%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 81% and missed.

Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (MVV 51%, Emmen 60%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Emmen's trading profile (45 games, 22 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 27% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Emmen arrived the stronger side — 1.47 PPG against 0.98. Form was overturned, with MVV winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape.
