Match description

Willem II holds a clear on-paper advantage: they sit 3rd in the table versus AZ II’s 17th position and have 18 wins this season compared to the visitors’ 11. In the last 5 matches the home side have won 4 of 5, scoring 9 and conceding 3 (avg. 1.8 scored and 0.6 conceded per game), while AZ II are 2-1-2, scoring 7 and conceding 11 (1.4 scored, 2.2 conceded per game). At home Willem II average 1.22 goals for and 0.89 against with xG for 1.76 and xG against 1.45, whereas AZ II on the road average 1.94 goals for and 2.06 against with xG for 1.42 and xG against 1.76, which indicates better-quality chances for the hosts and a weaker away defence. The hosts register 15.56 shots (5.28 on target) with a conversion rate around 8%, while the visitors average 11.94 shots (5.22 on target) with a 16% conversion — AZ II are more efficient from fewer chances but concede more goals. Considering the hosts’ defensive edge (0.89 vs 2.06 conceded), superior form and an average of 2.4 points per game in the last 5 matches versus 1.4 for AZ II, I back a home win and estimate probabilities of 60% for Willem II, 20% for a draw and 20% for an AZ II win.
