Excelsior 0–9 FC Twente: our model backed FC Twente (correct)
f074e8e1ae12Prediction outcome
Result pick correct
We predicted FC Twente win (56%). Final score 0–9.
Exact score not matched
Most likely score 1-1, actual 0-9. The most likely FC Twente win is 1-2 (11%). A win is spread over many scores (1-0, 2-1, 2-0…), a draw over a few, so the single top score can be a draw even when a win is the pick. Exact scores land about one time in eight, so this is shown for reference.
Over 2.5 goals: yes
We gave over 2.5 a 56% chance; the match had 9 goals.
Both teams scored: no
We gave both teams to score a 57% chance.

Original forecast
Locked before kickoff ·90-minute result, extra time not included. Rounded so the three add up to 100%.
Calibration warning. Eredivisie fails our calibration check. In back-tests on the 2022–23 to 2025–26 seasons (1,223 matches), when the result we rated most likely had less than 45% (close matches), it came in 33% of the time, against 40% forecast. The model is too confident in close matches here, so its pick is probably less likely than shown. We publish it unchanged (model v1.2-2026-11) and are tracking live results before recalibrating.
