🧮 Model Insight

How the Model Works This Match

Willem II's attacking strength (0.71x league average) is weighed against Heerenveen's defensive record (1.46x) to produce a home expected-goals figure of 1.76. The same calculation in reverse, Heerenveen's attack versus Willem II's defence, projects 0.79 expected goals for the visitors.

These ratings are built from 14/48 games of current-season data — a full enough sample to trust.
