Model read

The model leans Nijmegen at 48% when Nijmegen host Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie on 20 September 2026. A lean, though, not a lock. The numbers that frame it: • Bookmakers see it the same way, 50% on Nijmegen, and agreement is historically when our numbers are most reliable. • Everything in the shot data points to goals, 70% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 69%. • Head to head, the last 5 meetings gave 1 wins for Nijmegen, 2 draws and 2 for Go Ahead Eagles, averaging 3.8 goals a game. • The run in: Nijmegen arrive W2 D1 L3, Go Ahead Eagles W2 D3 L1. Discipline says sit it out: value_gap +0.030 <= 0.03.

Value & higher-risk angles

Outcomes the model rates higher than the obvious price suggests, plus a few long-shot scorelines that are simply possible. These are the least likely calls on the page, so treat them as such. They are not tips, and we do not beat the sharp bookmakers.

Full market spectrum · model probabilities

The model’s own percentages, with no odds attached. The smaller markets are here so you can see everything we hold a number on, not because we claim an advantage in them. The colour says how close our percentages have landed to reality on matches the model had never seen.

How this works (honestly)

We are transparent about our method, our limits and how we measure performance.

What we use

Results, odds & closing prices, xG, shots, lineups, referee and schedule load.

Our method

Dixon-Coles + an xG strength model + champion/challenger selection + probability calibration + a trust gate.

What we don’t do

We do not beat the sharp market. The value is honest probabilities, No-bet calls and CLV.

Performance snapshot

Top-pick hit rate 47.7% (reliability, not edge). Calibration error 0.0095 (55416 matches).

More: Nijmegen predictions · Go Ahead Eagles predictions · Eredivisie

Not financial advice. No model beats the sharp closing market on public data. The value here is honest probabilities, No-bet calls, and CLV history.
