Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A tight, highly tactical defensive battle could be in store as Gamba Osaka and Kashima go head-to-head, with hardly anything between the sides in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The stats don't supply any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the match. That prediction is available at best priced odds of 1.67 with the bookmakers, so we make under 2.5 goals our tip of the day for this tie.
