General match analysis

NAC Breda have a clearly stronger away profile, averaging 2 goals per match, while De Graafschap concede as many as 4.5 goals per game at home. The hosts have lost both of their home matches so far, have kept no clean sheets, and boast a goal difference of -6. De Graafschap are capable of creating chances, as reflected by 21.5 shots and an xG of 2.12 at home, but they convert just 7% of their attempts and have conceded as many as 17 goals in their last five matches. The visitors are not entirely reliable defensively either, but they allow opponents a lower xG—1.48 on average compared with 2.1 for the hosts—and their shot conversion rate stands at 10%. Both teams regularly find the net, but the extent of De Graafschap’s defensive problems gives NAC Breda the best chance of securing victory.

BTTS - will both teams score?

The signal for both teams to score is very strong: BTTS occurred in 67% of De Graafschap’s matches and in all NAC Breda fixtures, compared with a league average of 75%. Neither side has kept a single clean sheet, and both concede an average of as many as 2.33 goals per match, significantly increasing the chances of finding the net.

Even De Graafschap’s weaker recent scoring rate of 1.2 goals per game is offset by the 3.4 goals they concede, making a goal for each team the most likely scenario. In betting terms, BTTS - Yes / Goal-Goal is the strongest selection.
