General match analysis

AZ II are the favourites: they have won 3 of their last 5 matches, scoring 15 goals in the process, while Den Bosch have won just once and scored 4. At home, the hosts average 1.75 goals per match, whereas the visitors manage only 0.75 away from home and have lost all 4 such matches. AZ II’s advantage in chance creation is reflected in their home xG of 1.87, compared with Den Bosch conceding an average of 2.18 xG away. The visitors concede an average of 2.25 goals on the road, although AZ II have yet to keep a clean sheet at home and concede 1.25 goals per match on average, so Den Bosch could still get on the scoresheet. However, the clear gap in attacking efficiency and away results points to a home win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Both teams scored in 100% of AZ II’s home matches and 50% of Den Bosch’s away matches; neither team kept a clean sheet in these conditions. AZ II average 2.0 goals at home, while the visitors concede 2.25 goals away, making an AZ II goal highly likely. The greater uncertainty concerns Den Bosch, who score only 0.75 goals away and failed to score in 50% of those matches. Nevertheless, AZ II concede an average of 1.8 goals at home, and Den Bosch’s away xG is 1.47, giving the visitors a genuine chance of finding the net. In their last 5 matches, both teams scored in 100% of AZ II’s games and 60% of Den Bosch’s, so BTTS - Yes has the edge, although the visitors’ lack of goals limits confidence in the prediction.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

AZ II average 2.0 goals at home, while Den Bosch concede 2.25 away, giving the hosts a clear chance to score several goals. The xG figures support this: AZ II record 1.99 at home, while their opponents allow chances worth an average of 2.18. Over their last five matches, AZ II averaged 3.0 goals scored, although Den Bosch managed only 0.8, making higher lines less reliable. Over 1.5 goals has the strongest backing in the results: it landed in 100% of AZ II’s home matches and 75% of Den Bosch’s away matches. With a projected total of 3.40 goals, Over 1.5 is a safer pick than Over 2.5, which landed in 60% and 50% of those matches, respectively.

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

The most likely HT/FT outcome is AZ II leading at the break and holding on to that lead until the end: the hosts score an average of 2.0 goals at home, while Den Bosch concede 2.25 goals away. AZ II led at half-time in 3 of their last 5 matches, whereas Den Bosch failed to score before the break in any of the 4 away matches analysed. The hosts’ advantage is also reflected in xG: they average 1.99, while their visitors allow opponents chances worth 2.18 xG per away match. After the break, AZ II score an average of 1.0 goal at home, while Den Bosch concede 1.75 away, increasing the chances of the hosts maintaining or extending their lead. A half-time draw remains a significant alternative, having occurred in 2 of Den Bosch’s 4 away matches, but the visitors lost all 4 away matches analysed.
