Form

Roda (all games): 4W 5D 1L across their last 10 — 1.70 PPG. Last five: L W W D D. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.

Roda's home record over their last 10 home games: 8W 1D 1L (2.50 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. Their home PPG of 2.50 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.70 — Roda are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

FC Eindhoven's record over their last 10 games: 2W 4D 4L (1.00 PPG). Last five: D W W D L. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.60. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

FC Eindhoven's away record over their last 10 away games: 5W 3D 2L (1.80 PPG). Away from home they average 1.70 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 1.80 exceeds their overall 1.00 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

The form ledger tips toward Roda. A 0.70 PPG lead over FC Eindhoven (1.70 vs 1.00) is a consistent enough margin to carry weight. If the win odds appear compressed, Draw No Bet offers draw insurance at a lower cost than a full switch to Double Chance.

Head-to-Head

Neither side has dominated the 5 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Roda, 1 for FC Eindhoven and 3 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral.

The 5 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.0 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 6 Nov 2023, ended Roda 1–1 FC Eindhoven — a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

Roda goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 59 games, 29 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 72% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 81% of the time; of the 22 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 32%; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 55% of games (home games).

FC Eindhoven goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 59 games, 29 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 48% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 91% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 14 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 29%; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 42%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Roda 56% versus FC Eindhoven 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Roda 49% | FC Eindhoven 46%). Note also that FC Eindhoven surrender HT leads in 29% of cases while Roda recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 32% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Roda 1.63 xG and FC Eindhoven 1.24 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: Roda attack 1.038 / defence 0.732 | FC Eindhoven attack 1.211 / defence 0.983. League average goals — home 1.594 / away 1.399. FC Eindhoven have an above-average attack rating of 1.211, which lifts their away xG to 1.24. Roda have a tight defence (rating 0.732), which is pulling FC Eindhoven's projected output down. Data: built from Roda's last 59 games and FC Eindhoven's last 59.

Result probabilities: Roda 45% | Draw 27% | FC Eindhoven 28%. Fair-value odds: Roda 2.22 | Draw 3.70 | FC Eindhoven 3.59. Roda hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS Yes probability 58% | Total xG 2.87. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.87 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 58% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Roda as the most likely outcome at 45% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Roda if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.87 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 55% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Roda's last 10 home games and FC Eindhoven's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 58% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Roda 50% (last 10 home games) | FC Eindhoven 60% (last 10 away games).
