📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Waalwijk beat Emmen 5-0 at Mandemakers Stadion, Regular Season - 36, 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 Waalwijk 1.75 xG and Emmen 1.50 xG, a combined 3.26. The scoreboard read 5-0 for 5 actual goals. Waalwijk beat their projection by 3.2 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Emmen landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Waalwijk attack 0.95 / defence 1.12 against Emmen attack 0.90 / defence 1.15, drawn from 35/73 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Waalwijk 44% | Draw 23% | Emmen 33%, with Waalwijk to win its most likely call at 44%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 63%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 84% and landed. Over 3.5 was 41% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 64% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 65% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Waalwijk 68%, Emmen 62%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 62%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Waalwijk's trading profile (69 games, 34 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 68% of their matches — today it did not.

Emmen's trading profile (69 games, 34 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 28% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Waalwijk 1.12 PPG, Emmen 1.30 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Waalwijk win broke the near-deadlock. Waalwijk (home/away splits) scored 5 against a 1.56 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.71 average — tighter than their form line. Emmen (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.26 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 5 against a 1.74 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

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