MVV Maastricht vs Jong Ajax is more than a bottom-six clash. Both sides are win-less in their last three league fixtures, yet the xG (expected goals) data says something different. MVV out-shot Helmond Sport 2.3-0.9 last round, while Jong Ajax created 1.8 xG at Almere City but still lost 2-3. Translation: margins are tiny and a single pattern flip could tilt the table.
