Current Form

Waalwijk's record over their last 10 games: 3W 2D 5L (1.10 PPG). Last five: W W W L L. Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.50 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Waalwijk's home record over their last 10 home games: 3W 2D 5L (1.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game.

PSV Eindhoven (all games): 3W 4D 3L across their last 10 — 1.30 points per game. Last five: D D D L W. They are scoring at 1.90 per game and conceding 1.80. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.

PSV Eindhoven's away record over their last 10 away games: 5W 1D 4L (1.60 PPG). They are averaging 2.30 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.10 vs 1.30 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.

H2H History

Across the 7 H2H matches in our data, PSV Eindhoven have the stronger record — 7 wins to Waalwijk's 0, with 0 draws.

The 7 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.3 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 10 Aug 2024, ended Waalwijk 1–5 PSV Eindhoven — a PSV Eindhoven win.

The H2H data backs the away side. PSV Eindhoven have won 7 of 7 H2H matches, and at 3.3 goals per game the goals market also points upward — the away win and Over 2.5 combination has a head-to-head case.

Trading Data

Waalwijk goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 58 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 92% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 12 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 36%.

PSV Eindhoven goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 58 games, 29 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 79% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 75% of those occasions; they lead at the break 59% of the time; of the 6 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 83%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 76% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 62%; they keep a clean sheet 41% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Waalwijk 59% versus PSV Eindhoven 57%; no strong lean in either direction. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Waalwijk 59% | PSV Eindhoven 78%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Waalwijk surrender their half-time lead 33% of the time, while PSV Eindhoven have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 83% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Waalwijk 1.91 xG and PSV Eindhoven 1.99 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 1.039 / defence 1.097 | PSV Eindhoven attack 1.431 / defence 1.124. League average goals — home 1.635 / away 1.264. PSV Eindhoven have an above-average attack rating of 1.431, which lifts their away xG to 1.99. Data: built from Waalwijk's last 58 games and PSV Eindhoven's last 59.

Result probabilities: Waalwijk 38% | Draw 21% | PSV Eindhoven 41%. Fair-value odds: Waalwijk 2.64 | Draw 4.68 | PSV Eindhoven 2.45. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 21% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 75% | BTTS Yes probability 74% | Total xG 3.89. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 75% — a total xG of 3.89 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 74% — both xG figures (1.91 / 1.99) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates PSV Eindhoven as the most likely outcome at 41% — marginal model lean. The head-to-head data (PSV Eindhoven 7 wins from 7 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. The opposing side holds a 38% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.89 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 75% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Waalwijk's last 10 home games and PSV Eindhoven's last 10 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.3 goals per game across 7 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 74% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Waalwijk 50% (last 10 home games) | PSV Eindhoven 70% (last 10 away games).
