Where it pulls both ways. It pulls both ways: their goals for and against make Feyenoord the likelier winners, but Alkmaar are the stronger side on form and the table.
The read. No side to back. An open game. Nothing separates them clearly enough to back a side, with their goals for and against pointing to an open game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 58%.
The bets. Best bet: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.13, 79% on the records (Feyenoord: over 1.5 goals in 8 of 9; Alkmaar: over 1.5 goals in 7 of 8). Backup: 2nd Half - Over/Under: Over 0.5 at 1.14. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Feyenoord or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Alkmaar or Over 2.5 Goals (no result call); Under 5.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: Feyenoord 2-1 Alkmaar (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).
