Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We are expecting a game with little to choose between the sides here and, as such, we predict under 2.5 goals. That means we a suggesting 2 goals or less will be scored in total as Avispa and Nagoya go head-to-head. Good performances all round will be required to deliver us a winner, but we have reason to trust both sides to deliver exactly that. The stats and the odds below suggest it's a sound bet too.
