Lars's Verdict

Value pick
Both teams to score - Yes Won Solid lean Value pick · BTTS

Back both sides to hit the net as the model’s 54.9% BTTS probability outstrips the market’s implied 50% line.

Show the maths
The model assigns each side 1.35 expected goals, which translates to a BTTS chance of 54.9%. Most bookmakers price the BTTS market around the 50% mark, implying a probability of 50%. The 4.9% gap between the model’s probability and the market’s implied probability represents a tangible edge, justifying the bet.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With PSV Eindhoven averaging 1.35 expected goals and Fortuna Sittard averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (PSV Eindhoven 1.35, Fortuna Sittard 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (PSV Eindhoven 1.35 + Fortuna Sittard 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (PSV Eindhoven 1.35 + Fortuna Sittard 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has PSV Eindhoven at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Fortuna Sittard at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
