Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FC Volendam 1.87 xG and ADO Den Haag 1.22 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 1.303 / defence 0.827 | ADO Den Haag attack 1.148 / defence 0.873. League average goals — home 1.644 / away 1.288. FC Volendam carry an above-average attack rating of 1.303 — their 1.87 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from FC Volendam's last 24 games and ADO Den Haag's last 62.

Result probabilities: FC Volendam 52% | Draw 24% | ADO Den Haag 24%. Fair-value odds: FC Volendam 1.92 | Draw 4.21 | ADO Den Haag 4.12. FC Volendam hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS Yes probability 60% | Total xG 3.09. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.09 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% — both xG figures (1.87 / 1.22) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, FC Volendam are the pick at 52% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on FC Volendam if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.09 combined xG gives a 60% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (FC Volendam's last 10 home games and ADO Den Haag's last 10 away games) averaging 3.4 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 3 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 60%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: FC Volendam 50% (last 10 home games) | ADO Den Haag 60% (last 10 away games).
