Up to 5 matches before kick-off, most recent first. The model rates each side on its goals over this season and last, adjusted for the opposition, rather than on these results alone, so read them as context — how the ratings are built.

Leading scorers: FC Eindhoven and Vitesse

FC Eindhoven

No player in Eerste Divisie's leading scorers — 13 league goals as a side.

Vitesse

  • N. Bannis7 goals3 assists

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

FC Eindhoven carry a model rating of 6.27 against 6.41 for Vitesse. 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.

A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.33 goals for FC Eindhoven and 1.29 for Vitesse. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

FC Eindhoven rate 0.57 in attack and 1.81 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Vitesse rate 0.59 and 1.43.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Vitesse, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives FC Eindhoven a 0.4% chance of the title and Vitesse 5.6%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,381 correct results out of 2,964 settled predictions (47%), with 285 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.

Statistical estimate, not betting advice This prediction is generated from a statistical model for entertainment and informational purposes only. It does not guarantee any outcome and should not be used as the basis for placing a bet.

Goals scored and conceded, by minute

All Eerste Divisie matches this season: FC Eindhoven 8, Vitesse 8.

FC Eindhoven scored 101413
Vitesse conceded 202134

FC Eindhoven score most often in the 46–60 minute window (4 goals); Vitesse have let in 1 there.

Vitesse scored 034320
FC Eindhoven conceded 414234

Vitesse score most often in the 31–45 minute window (4 goals); FC Eindhoven have let in 4 there.

Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window. Each side's goals sit above the goals its opponent has let in over the same minutes; the darker the cell, the more goals in that window. Stoppage time counts in the last window of its half. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.

The colour is how strong the opponent is, from easier to harder as on the scale above: its model rating ranked among the teams of that competition, in fifths, so bright red is the top fifth whoever is playing it. The win figure is this side's own chance in that match, which is where venue and its own level come in. A match already on our board links to its own prediction; the rest follow as their week comes up.
