Historically, goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 1.0 per game from 2 meetings. The Under 2.5 has a clear base rate from the H2H record alone. The most recent clash, on 30 Jan 2026, ended 2–0 with Waalwijk winning.

With a balanced win record and just 1.0 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.

Trading Data

Waalwijk goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (49 games, 25 at home): they score before half-time in 84% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 80% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 84% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 43%.

FC OSS goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (49 games, 25 at away): they score before half-time in 56% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 79% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 79% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 44% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Waalwijk 78% and FC OSS 65% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Waalwijk 63% | FC OSS 65%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Waalwijk 2.05 xG and FC OSS 1.00 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: Waalwijk attack 1.142 / defence 1.003 | FC OSS attack 0.687 / defence 0.977. League average goals — home 1.840 / away 1.459. Data: 49 Waalwijk games / 49 FC OSS games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Waalwijk 62% | Draw 21% | FC OSS 18%. Fair-value odds: Waalwijk 1.61 | Draw 4.76 | FC OSS 5.56. The model has a clear lean to Waalwijk (62%) — a 44pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 3.06. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.06 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Waalwijk as the most likely outcome at 62% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.06 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 59% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.3 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 55% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Waalwijk 80% | FC OSS 60% BTTS from recent games.
