Match description

Willem II has a clear defensive edge at home: they concede 0.88 goals per match on average and keep a clean sheet in 29% of games, while Almere City concedes 1.94 goals away and records only 12% clean sheets. At home the hosts’ xG is 1.79 versus 1.67 xG for Almere on the road, but Almere scores 1.94 goals away on average compared to Willem II’s 1.18 at home, indicating higher offensive efficiency from the visitors. In the last 5 matches Willem II has scored 10 goals, won 4 of 5 and averages 2.4 points per game, whereas Almere has scored 11 goals, recorded 3 wins and 1 draw (2.0 points per game) but conceded 7 goals. Almere shows a higher shot conversion (≈13% vs 7%) and slightly more shots on target (5.88 vs 5.41), however Willem II allows opponents lower xG at home (1.46 vs 1.8 xG in Almere’s away matches) and concedes fewer goals (0.88 vs 1.94). On this basis I predict a home win; I assess the probabilities at 55% for Willem II, 25% for a draw and 20% for Almere City.
