The read. No side to back. An open game. Form and the meetings point different ways, so I back neither side. Their goals for and against point to an open game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 65%. Two of the last three meetings went over 2.5.
The bets. Best bet: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.18, 86% on the records (FBK Karlstad: over 1.5 goals in 4 of 5 at home; AFC Eskilstuna: over 1.5 goals in 5 of 5 away). Backup: FBK Karlstad Over 0.5 Goals at 1.22. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Under 3.5 Goals (no unders on an open read); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read); Under 5.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: FBK Karlstad 1-2 AFC Eskilstuna (9% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (an open game).
