Show the maths

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Twente at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and PEC Zwolle at 37.1% to win.
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.
The Numbers Behind the Headline
Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Twente
Twente’s only listed recent result is a 0‑1 loss away to Heerenveen, showing they have struggled to score even when playing away. That lack of goals aligns with the model’s low home goal average and supports the expectation that Twente will need to score to keep pace.
PEC Zwolle
PEC Zwolle’s recent run includes a 1‑6 loss at PSV, a 1‑0 win over Heracles, and three consecutive defeats (2‑3 vs Fortuna Sittard, 0‑2 vs Feyenoord, 0‑2 vs Ajax). The solitary win demonstrates they can score, but the string of heavy losses highlights a vulnerability that makes conceding likely.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings the fixtures have produced three draws (1‑1, 1‑1, 1‑1) and two narrow wins (1‑0 PEC Zwolle, 2‑1 Twente), indicating a history of both sides scoring in several matches.
