Rows = Heerenveen goals, columns = Excelsior goals. The most likely scoreline is 1-1 at 11.2%.

Rather than one score, the model spreads probability across the whole grid, that distribution is the real signal. The brightest cells are where the match is most likely to land.

Model analysis: reasoning, key facts and model lenses

Expert AI analysis

The model makes Most likely · 11.2% at 1-1, its strongest read on the Correct Score market. The goals picture is built on form: Heerenveen have averaged 1.6 scored and 1.4 conceded, Excelsior 1.8 and 2.2 over their recent games. That fits an open goals environment: 59.9% for over 2.5 and 82.0% for at least two goals. Their last 5 meetings have averaged 2.4 goals a game. This is a model estimate; validation depends on the market and available sample.

In-depth analysis

Looking at totals, the model sees 59.9% for three or more goals and 82.0% for at least two, painting a balanced picture. With Heerenveen favoured at 45.1%, neither side dominating can mean an end-to-end match.

We publish the model, not a sure thing. What we are good at is getting the percentage right, not at beating the bookmakers.

FAQ

What was the score in Heerenveen vs Excelsior?

How is this probability calculated?

Is this a betting tip?
This is a model estimate, not a guarantee or a demonstrated profitable edge. Where the required result data is available, saved predictions are graded including misses. An unavailable market result stays ungraded.
