✍️ Match Preview
Pre-Match Analysis
Almere City FC and Jong Ajax meet at Yanmar Stadion in Eerste Divisie, Regular Season - 11. This fixture gets under way on Friday 14 October 2022 at 19:00 UTC.
Form
Almere City FC (all games): 5W 1D 4L across 10 Eerste Divisie fixtures this term — 1.60 PPG. Last five: L D W W W. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.30 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Almere City FC, so this record blends games from this season and last.
In front of their own supporters this season, Almere City FC have posted 6W 1D 3L at Yanmar Stadion — 1.90 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Yanmar Stadion. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Jong Ajax's overall Eerste Divisie record this term: 3W 3D 4L from 10 games (1.20 PPG). Last five: D W L D L. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.50. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Jong Ajax, so this record blends games from this season and last.
When travelling in Eerste Divisie this season, Jong Ajax have posted 0W 5D 5L from 10 away outings — 0.50 PPG. Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.50 is notably below their overall 1.20 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.60 PPG for Almere City FC against 1.20 for Jong Ajax. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
H2H History
The head-to-head record is closely matched — Almere City FC lead 1W to 1W over the last 2 encounters, with 0 draws, though neither side has established a commanding advantage.
These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 5.0 per game across 2 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 21 Feb 2022, ended 3–1 with Almere City FC winning.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 5.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.
Trading & In-Play
Almere City FC — key trading statistics (48 games, 24 at home): they score before half-time in 58% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 87% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 42% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (home games).
Jong Ajax — key trading statistics (48 games, 24 at away): they score before half-time in 79% of fixtures 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 73% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 71% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 52%.
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Almere City FC 54% and Jong Ajax 75% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Almere City FC 67% | Jong Ajax 67%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Almere City FC 1.90 xG and Jong Ajax 0.79 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: Almere City FC attack 0.994 / defence 0.777 | Jong Ajax attack 0.745 / defence 1.163. League average goals — home 1.640 / away 1.363. Almere City FC's defence rating of 0.777 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 48 Almere City FC games / 48 Jong Ajax games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Almere City FC 64% | Draw 22% | Jong Ajax 15%. Fair-value odds: Almere City FC 1.56 | Draw 4.55 | Jong Ajax 6.67. The model has a clear lean to Almere City FC (64%) — a 49pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 46% | Total xG 2.68. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.68 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 46% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Almere City FC are the pick at 64% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.68 combined xG gives a 50% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 2.7 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 46%. Form rates corroborate: Almere City FC 30% | Jong Ajax 60% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Jong Ajax beat Almere City FC 2-3 at Yanmar Stadion, Regular Season - 11, in the Eerste Divisie. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Almere City FC 1.90 xG and Jong Ajax 0.79 xG, a combined 2.68. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Jong Ajax outscored their 0.79 projection by 2.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Almere City FC attack 0.99 / defence 0.78 against Jong Ajax attack 0.74 / defence 1.16, drawn from 48/48 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Almere City FC 64% | Draw 22% | Jong Ajax 15%, with Almere City FC to win its most likely call at 64%. Instead the game produced a Jong Ajax win, an outcome the model had rated at just 15% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 50%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 75% and landed. Over 3.5 was 28% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 67% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Almere City FC 67%, Jong Ajax 67%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 65%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Almere City FC's trading profile (48 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did.
Jong Ajax's trading profile (48 games, 24 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 75% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Almere City FC 1.19 PPG, Jong Ajax 1.56 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Jong Ajax win broke the near-deadlock. Almere City FC (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.46 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Jong Ajax (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.42 average — above their attacking norm.
Verdict
