Analysis

Jong Utrecht make the trip to Kras Stadion to face FC Volendam in Eerste Divisie (matchday 14). The match kicks off on Friday 8 November 2024 at 19:00 UK time.

Form

FC Volendam (all games): 7W 2D 1L across their last 10 — 2.30 PPG. Last five: W W W W D. They are averaging 2.60 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

FC Volendam's form when playing at home: 5W 1D 4L across their last 10 home games (1.60 PPG). They are averaging 2.00 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 1.60 lags behind their overall 2.30 — home advantage has not translated into better results recently.

Jong Utrecht's record over their last 10 games: 1W 3D 6L (0.60 PPG). Last five: D D L L W. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 2.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.10 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

When travelling, Jong Utrecht have posted 0W 5D 5L from their last 10 away outings — 0.50 PPG. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 2.20 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

Form favours the hosts. FC Volendam's 2.30 PPG return is 1.70 points per game ahead of Jong Utrecht's 0.60 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (from FC Volendam's last 10 home games and Jong Utrecht's last 10 away games) — FC Volendam have seen both teams score in 60% of their games, Jong Utrecht in 70%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

H2H History

Neither side has dominated the 2 H2H matches in our data: 2 wins for FC Volendam, 0 for Jong Utrecht and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

Goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 1.5 per game across the 2 H2H matches we hold, giving Under 2.5 a clear head-to-head base rate. The most recent of those, on 4 Feb 2022, ended FC Volendam 2–0 Jong Utrecht — a FC Volendam win.

With a balanced win record and just 1.5 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

Trading

FC Volendam half-time and goal-timing data (last 47 games, 23 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 74% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 10 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 30%; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 70% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 55%.

Jong Utrecht half-time and goal-timing data (last 47 games, 23 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 87% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 9 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 67%; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (away games); they fail to score in 45% of games.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — FC Volendam 68% and Jong Utrecht 53% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (FC Volendam 72% | Jong Utrecht 51%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FC Volendam 2.27 xG and Jong Utrecht 1.44 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: FC Volendam attack 1.343 / defence 1.100 | Jong Utrecht attack 0.865 / defence 1.137. League average goals — home 1.484 / away 1.509. FC Volendam carry an above-average attack rating of 1.343 — their 2.27 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from FC Volendam's last 13 games and Jong Utrecht's last 51.

Result probabilities: FC Volendam 55% | Draw 21% | Jong Utrecht 23%. Fair-value odds: FC Volendam 1.80 | Draw 4.66 | Jong Utrecht 4.34. The model has a clear lean to FC Volendam (55%) — a 32pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 72% | BTTS Yes probability 69% | Total xG 3.70. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 72% — a total xG of 3.70 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 69% — both xG figures (2.27 / 1.44) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is FC Volendam at 55% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.70 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 72% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (FC Volendam's last 10 home games and Jong Utrecht's last 10 away games) averaging 3.4 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 69% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: FC Volendam 60% (last 10 home games) | Jong Utrecht 70% (last 10 away games).
