Pre-match analysis and preview

Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

ADO Den Haag host SC Heerenveen in Eredivisie. This preview compares historical records dated before the prediction was locked with the model's pre-match probabilities. Probabilities describe estimated outcomes, not guaranteed results.

Across their last 5 recorded league matches, ADO Den Haag collected 5 points (1 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses). SC Heerenveen earned 7 points from 5 matches (2 wins, 1 draws and 2 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

At home, ADO Den Haag have 1 wins, 1 draws and 3 losses in their last 5 recorded home matches. On the road, SC Heerenveen have 1 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses across 5 away matches.

Where full-quality xG is available, ADO Den Haag average 1.18 xG and 1.58 xGA over 5 recent matches; SC Heerenveen average 1.82 xG and 1.08 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places ADO Den Haag in position 17 and SC Heerenveen in position 8. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

This analysis is based on available league records and the pre-match snapshot. Missing samples are not estimated; player availability, injuries and tactical claims are not inferred.

Post-match analysis

Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.

SC Heerenveen won 3–2 away to ADO Den Haag. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 2.82 for ADO Den Haag and 2.43 for SC Heerenveen. ADO Den Haag generated the higher xG total. ADO Den Haag scored -0.82 goals relative to xG and SC Heerenveen scored +0.57 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

ADO Den Haag registered 23 shots, with 7 on target (shot accuracy: 30.4%); SC Heerenveen recorded 15 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Away (51.7%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
