General match analysis

De Graafschap are the favorites — they sit 4th in the table versus Emmen’s 15th and have 18 wins this season compared to the home side’s 11. The visitors have scored 74 goals this season (1.89 per away match), while Emmen have 57 goals overall, although Emmen score slightly more at home: 1.94 goals per match versus the visitors’ 1.89 away. The favorite’s form is clearer — De Graafschap have netted 15 goals in their last 5 matches and average 2.2 points per game (3 wins, 2 draws), whereas Emmen have only 7 goals and 1.0 point per game in that period (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses). Defensively the visitors concede 1.56 goals on average away compared to Emmen’s 1.67 conceded at home, but xG shows more expected chances against De Graafschap (xG against 1.87 vs 1.47 for Emmen), suggesting an open match with opportunities for both sides. Considering the table advantage, superior win record and significantly better recent form over the last five matches, I forecast a De Graafschap victory, although Emmen possess the home advantage (1.94 goals on average and 22% of home matches with a clean sheet), hence a moderate probability of an away triumph.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Both teams show high seasonal BTTS rates: Emmen 74% and De Graafschap 72%, versus a league average of 62%, giving a strong signal for BTTS - Yes. In the last 5 matches both sides also have BTTS at 60%; during that period Emmen concedes on average 2.4 goals while De Graafschap scores 3.0 on average, further increasing the likelihood of both teams scoring. Seasonal goal averages show Emmen scores 2.11 and concedes 1.53, and De Graafschap scores 1.89 and concedes 1.56 — a combined 4.0 goals per match versus the league average 3.21. xG confirms both directions: Emmen xG_for 2.27 against De Graafschap xG_against 1.87, and De Graafschap xG_for 1.76 against Emmen xG_against 1.62, suggesting realistic scoring chances for both teams. Additionally, low clean sheet expected percentages of 21% and 11% and a superiority in shots on target 8.26 to 6.06 support the 'BTTS - Yes' scenario.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The xG- and season-data-driven model indicates a high probability of goals: Emmen has xG_for 2.27 and De Graafschap 1.76, with xG_against 1.62 (Emmen) and 1.87 (De Graafschap), yielding expected 2.07 goals for the home side and 1.69 for the visitors (total 3.76). Over the season Emmen finished 89% of matches over 1.5 goals, De Graafschap also 89%, and the percentage of matches over 2.5 is 68% (Emmen) and 67% (De Graafschap). In the last 5 fixtures Emmen averaged 1.4 goals scored and 2.4 conceded, De Graafschap averaged 3.0 scored and 1.2 conceded, with both teams posting 80% Over 2.5 in that period. Additionally, both teams scored in 74% of Emmen’s matches and 72% of De Graafschap’s matches, and average shots on target are 8.26 (Emmen) and 6.06 (De Graafschap), reinforcing the goal likelihood. Based on this, the strongest signal is over 1.5 (season figures 89-89% and 3.76 expected goals), so I recommend backing the over at the 1.5 line.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

I back 1/1 (Emmen leading at the break and winning) because season-long metrics favor the home side: xG 2.27 vs 1.76, on average 20.37 shots vs 15.00 and 8.26 shots on target vs 6.06, and Emmen have led at the break in 53% of matches. The visitors, however, are in strong short-term form — De Graafschap average 3.0 goals in their last five matches and have won 60% of those, leading at the break in 80% of them (4 of 5). Nonetheless the home advantage is reinforced in the second half: Emmen score an average of 1.21 goals after the break and have collected 29 points in second halves vs De Graafschap’s 23, which supports maintaining or regaining a lead. Considering the higher xG and volume of chances plus a solid second-half record, the strongest signal is 1/1.
