📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Willem II beat Jong Ajax 1-0 at Koning Willem II Stadion, Regular Season - 7, 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 Willem II 1.61 xG and Jong Ajax 1.62 xG, a combined 3.23. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Jong Ajax landed 1.6 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Willem II attack 0.74 / defence 1.12 against Jong Ajax attack 1.13 / defence 1.27, drawn from 6/44 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Willem II 38% | Draw 23% | Jong Ajax 38%, with Willem II to win its most likely call at 38%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 63%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 83% and missed. Over 3.5 was 40% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 64% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Willem II 50%, Jong Ajax 50%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Willem II's trading profile (44 games, 21 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did not.

Jong Ajax's trading profile (44 games, 21 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 43% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Willem II 0.86 PPG, Jong Ajax 0.93 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Willem II win broke the near-deadlock. Willem II (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.62 average — tighter than their form line. Jong Ajax (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 1 against a 2.00 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
