Willem II vs SC Cambuur
Our model puts a Willem II win at 45.7% in this Eredivisie fixture — a moderate lean. Expected goals run 1.58 to 1.21.
What this probability has been worth
A number is worth what it has been worth. Across 1,904 predictions published before kick-off and scored against the result afterwards, the calls we priced between 45% and 55% came in 47.4% of the time — 580 fixtures in that band. The model claimed 49.4%, so the two are within 2 points of each other. In this range the stated probability has meant roughly what it says.
Attack against defence
The single rating hides where the mismatch actually sits. Splitting it, SC Cambuur's attack should find room against Willem II's defence, by 91 points. That is the mechanism behind the expected-goals line rather than a separate opinion about it.
Willem II are off their season peak
Willem II peaked at 1500 this season and sit at 1428 today, 72 points below their own best. Measuring a side against itself rather than against the table is often the earlier signal, and it is not visible in a league position.
Finding the target
Willem II struggles to hit the target: 27.3% of their shots are on goal over their last matches. The average across the sides we have figures for is 34.1%. Accuracy is not the same as scoring — it says how much of a side's shooting is worth a goalkeeper's attention, which is the part that does not swing as wildly from week to week as goals do.
