General match analysis
De Graafschap sit 19th, having secured just one win in seven matches so far while conceding as many as 20 goals. The hosts’ home form is particularly concerning: they have lost all three games, conceding an average of 3.67 goals per match and failing to keep a single clean sheet. Den Bosch have also lost all three of their away fixtures, but their defence concedes an average of 2.67 goals, while the team are in better recent form, earning 6 points from their last five league matches compared with the opponent’s 3. The hosts create more quality chances, with an average home xG of 1.75 compared with Den Bosch’s 1.50 away from home, but their xG against stands at 2.19, highlighting their vulnerability to opposition chances. An open game with goals at both ends is expected; however, the visitors’ slightly better recent finishing—9 goals in their last five matches compared with De Graafschap’s 5—tilts the prediction towards a Den Bosch win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The signal for both teams finding the net is clear: De Graafschap have recorded BTTS in 100% of their home matches, while Den Bosch have done so in 67%, against a league average of 74%.

BTTS landed for both teams in 80% of their last five matches, while their defenses allowed opponents an average of 2.8 and 2.4 goals, respectively. Den Bosch may raise a slight concern, having failed to score in 33% of their away matches, but their average xG of 1.50, along with 1.96 across their last five games, points to genuine attacking potential and suggests they can respond. De Graafschap create even more at home, averaging 2.06 xG and 6.5 shots on target, while the visitors’ very weak defense should help the hosts find the net.
