Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think there's minimal chance that this fixture will have more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and stats point in the same direction as KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Albirex and Tokyo have rarely treated their fans to goal-fests of late, whether that be in J-League individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a convincing favourite draw or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.22.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Albirex are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 40% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.15.
