ADO Den Haag vs Cambuur: Over 2.5 goals
ADO Den Haag and Cambuur both sit on a 1.5 expected‑goals average, but their defensive frailties and recent form suggest a goal‑rich encounter.
Both sides have struggled to keep clean sheets – ADO concede 3.5 per game at home while Cambuur allow 2.5 away – and each has a run of losses that leaves them eager for points.
Lars's Verdict
The model’s 57.7% probability for over two and a half goals, backed by both teams’ 1.5 expected goals and leaky defenses, makes the over the clear choice.
Show the maths
With ADO Den Haag averaging 1.5 expected goals and Cambuur averaging 1.5, the model gives a 60.3% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 39.7% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 3.0 (ADO Den Haag 1.5 + Cambuur 1.5) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 57.7% chance against 42.3% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has ADO Den Haag at 37.8%, the draw at 24.3%, and Cambuur at 37.8% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 11.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

ADO Den Haag
Den Haag’s recent five‑game run (L 1-4 vs Groningen, L 1-3 vs Go Ahead Eagles, D 2-2 vs Feyenoord, L 2-3 vs Fortuna Sittard, L 0-2 vs Twente) shows they have both scored and conceded heavily, highlighted by the 2‑3 loss to Fortuna Sittard where they opened the scoring but still leaked three.
