Fixture Analysis

It is a Eredivisie clash, Regular Season - 24 as NAC Breda welcome FC Volendam to Rat Verlegh Stadion. Kick-off is set for Saturday 21 February 2026 at 19:00 UTC.

Form Guide

NAC Breda — All Games: 1W 4D 5L from 10 Eredivisie outings this season, averaging 0.70 points per game. Last five: L D D L W. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for NAC Breda, so this record blends games from this season and last.

NAC Breda at Rat Verlegh Stadion this season: 2W 3D 5L from 10 home games — 0.90 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Across all Eredivisie games this season, FC Volendam have recorded 3W 1D 6L from 10 outings — 1.00 PPG. Last five: W L D W W. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. This season is still relatively young for FC Volendam, so this record blends games from this season and last.

FC Volendam away from home this season: 1W 1D 8L from 10 away games — 0.40 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.60 goals scored and 2.20 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.40 is notably below their overall 1.00 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — NAC Breda at 0.70 PPG versus FC Volendam's 1.00. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 3 previous meetings, NAC Breda have won 0, FC Volendam 2, with 1 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

The last 3 meetings have been tight affairs, averaging just 1.3 goals per game. That low-scoring pattern is a meaningful historical input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent clash, on 8 Nov 2025, ended 1–2 with FC Volendam winning.

With a balanced win record and just 1.3 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.

In-Play Data

NAC Breda trading profile (57 games, 28 at home): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; BTTS occurs in 64% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.

FC Volendam trading profile (57 games, 28 at away): they score before half-time in 89% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 70% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — NAC Breda 56% and FC Volendam 65% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (NAC Breda 51% | FC Volendam 72%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects NAC Breda 1.50 xG and FC Volendam 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: NAC Breda attack 0.807 / defence 1.147 | FC Volendam attack 0.618 / defence 1.136. League average goals — home 1.635 / away 1.414. Data: 57 NAC Breda games / 23 FC Volendam games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: NAC Breda 49% | Draw 26% | FC Volendam 25%. Fair-value odds: NAC Breda 2.04 | Draw 3.85 | FC Volendam 4.00. NAC Breda hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 2.50. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.50 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 49% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is NAC Breda at 49% — moderate model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on NAC Breda offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.50 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 46% — reasonable confidence, supported by H2H averaging 1.3 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 49% on No. Form rates are neutral: NAC Breda 60% | FC Volendam 40%.
