Where it pulls both ways.

On goals, their goals for and against point to an open game; their records put over 2.5 goals at 40%.
The case against. FC Midtjylland's record still gives them 34% to win. The meetings do not back them. Not everything agrees on goals: their records put over 2.5 goals at 40%.
The read. Copenhagen or the draw. A draw is live. An open game. Their goals for and against make FC Midtjylland the likelier winners; Copenhagen are the stronger side on form and the table; the meetings favour FC Midtjylland. Their goals for and against point to an open game.
The bets. Best bet: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.21, 75% on the records (FC Midtjylland: over 1.5 goals in 6 of 7; Copenhagen: over 1.5 goals in 6 of 7). Backup: 2nd Half - Over/Under: Over 0.5 at 1.19. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Copenhagen 1UP (the signs point different ways); Copenhagen or draw and over 1.5 goals (the signs point different ways); Copenhagen or Draw (1UP) (the signs point different ways).
