Analysis

FC Eindhoven make the trip to Parkstad Limburg Stadion to face Roda in Eerste Divisie, Regular Season - 28. The match kicks off on Friday 26 February 2027 at 19:00 UTC.

Form

Roda (all games): 3W 5D 2L across 10 Eerste Divisie fixtures this term — 1.40 PPG. Last five: W D D W D. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Roda have played only a handful of Eerste Divisie games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Roda's home record at Parkstad Limburg Stadion: 3W 4D 3L from 10 Eerste Divisie appearances (1.30 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game.

FC Eindhoven's overall Eerste Divisie record this term: 4W 1D 5L from 10 games (1.30 PPG). Last five: L L D W W. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. FC Eindhoven have played only a handful of Eerste Divisie games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

FC Eindhoven's away record: 2W 1D 7L from 10 road trips in Eerste Divisie this season (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 2.10 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.70 is notably below their overall 1.30 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.40 PPG for Roda against 1.30 for FC Eindhoven. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

Head-to-Head

Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 10 meetings: Roda 3W, FC Eindhoven 2W, 5D.

The 10 previous meetings have averaged 2.3 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 10 Apr 2026, ended 3–1 with Roda winning.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Trading Data

Roda goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (45 games, 22 at home): they score before half-time in 77% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 54% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games).

FC Eindhoven goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (45 games, 22 at away): they score before half-time in 68% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 47%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Roda 62% versus FC Eindhoven 51%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Roda 53% | FC Eindhoven 64%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Roda 1.62 xG and FC Eindhoven 1.01 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Roda attack 0.880 / defence 0.846 | FC Eindhoven attack 0.753 / defence 0.955. League average goals — home 1.933 / away 1.580. Data: 45 Roda games / 45 FC Eindhoven games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Roda 52% | Draw 25% | FC Eindhoven 23%. Fair-value odds: Roda 1.92 | Draw 4.00 | FC Eindhoven 4.35. Roda hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 2.63. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.63 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Roda as the most likely outcome at 52% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Roda if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.63 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 49% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 51% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Roda 50% | FC Eindhoven 60% BTTS from recent games.
