How we pick

The reasoning

On the match result the model has AZ Alkmaar at 62 percent, with the draw at 20 percent. That is a clear lean rather than a coin toss. The model expects roughly 2.2 goals from AZ Alkmaar and 1.2 from FC Groningen, a combined 3.4, which points to an open game rather than a tight one. Six markets clear our bar on this fixture, led by Over 1.5 goals at 84 percent, AZ Alkmaar or draw at 82 percent and AZ Alkmaar (draw no bet) at 77 percent. The most likely exact scoreline is 2-1, though at 9.7 percent that is a long shot by the nature of the correct score market. It does not publish a pick on both teams to score here, which means the numbers did not clear the bar rather than that we forgot to look. A market with no pick is the model saying it sees no edge.
