Based on statistics and the current form of the teams, I recommend the following tips with varying risk levels:
Low Risk:
- Both teams to score (Yes): Both teams have strong offensive lines and have scored in the majority of matches. Probability: 65%
Odds: 1.52 – Safe Kelly: 3%
Medium Risk:
- Over 2.5 goals in the match: Both Ajax and Feyenoord have shown they can play high-scoring matches, and based on current xG data, this tip is also justified. Probability: 60%

Based on the analysis, I would categorize the recommended bets under low and medium-risk categories. Considering the xG values and the attacking strength of both teams, these are the most likely scenarios worth considering while minimizing risk. Due to Ajax’s overall form and Feyenoord’s home advantage, the result remains unpredictable, so I focused on the total goals.
