The two sides

ADO Den Haag carry a model rating of 6.42 against 6.68 for Groningen. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

Recent form (most recent last): ADO Den Haag L; Groningen W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.49 goals for ADO Den Haag and 1.85 for Groningen. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

ADO Den Haag rate 0.73 in attack and 1.74 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Groningen rate 0.76 and 1.08.

That points to 65% for over two and a half goals and 66% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (10%), 1-2 (9%), 2-1 (7%).
