General match analysis
Both teams have picked up 7 points in their last 5 matches, but Utrecht II have scored 11 goals in that period compared with De Graafschap’s 6. The visitors are also more clinical away from home, averaging 1.5 goals with an 11% shot conversion rate, while the hosts average 1.25 goals and 8% at home. De Graafschap’s main weakness remains their defence, which concedes an average of 2.75 goals on home soil; Utrecht II concede 2 goals per away match. However, the hosts create slightly better chances, as reflected by an average xG of 1.72 compared with the visitors’ away xG of 1.46, so the outcome remains open. With both sides recording the same number of wins and losses in their last 5 matches, Utrecht II’s slight edge comes down to their more potent attack and the hosts’ weaker defence.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The case for BTTS - Yes is driven primarily by both teams recording this outcome in 80% and 100% of their matches, respectively, compared with a league average of 71%. De Graafschap score an average of 1.8 goals per game and Utrecht II 1.5, while conceding 2.6 and 2.0 respectively, meaning both defences give opponents plenty of chances. The xG figures reinforce this: the hosts generate 1.57 xG, while the visitors allow 2.02; Utrecht II record 1.46 xG, while De Graafschap allow 1.77. In their last five matches, both teams scored in 60% of the hosts’ games and 80% of the visitors’ games, with Utrecht II averaging 2.2 goals over that period. The main risk is De Graafschap’s average of just 1.2 goals across their last five outings; however, Utrecht II’s failure to keep a clean sheet in the season data strengthens the case for BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
De Graafschap score an average of 1.8 goals and concede 2.6, while Utrecht II score 1.5 and concede 2.0 per match, pointing to strong scoring potential on both sides. The xG figures confirm this: the hosts create chances worth an average of 1.57 goals, while the visitors generate 1.46, and both sides allow their opponents chances worth 1.77 and 2.02 goals, respectively. At least 2 goals have been scored in 80% of the hosts’ matches so far and 100% of the visitors’ matches; the Over 2.5 goals line has also been cleared in 80% and 100% of those games, respectively. Therefore, Over 1.5 goals is the strongest pick, offering a greater safety margin than Over 2.5, even though the data also supports the higher line.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A draw at half-time is a realistic scenario: it occurred in 2 of De Graafschap’s 5 home matches and 2 of Utrecht II’s 4 away matches, while the visitors have yet to lead at the break away from home. The hosts average 1.0 first-half goals, compared with 0.75 for the visitors, so the data from these matches do not indicate a clear advantage for either side at this stage. The last five matches point to a later shift in Utrecht II’s favour: the visitors scored an average of 2.2 goals, compared with De Graafschap’s 1.2, and netted 1.0 after half-time, while the hosts scored 0.6. This pick still carries considerable risk, as De Graafschap concede an average of 2.6 goals per home match, but Utrecht II also concede 2.0 away from home. A half-time draw followed by an away win is therefore the closest fit, rather than a decisive choice.
