JEF United v Machida Zelvia : J-League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 15th Aug, 11:00 BST, Fukuda Denshi Arena, Chiba

Saturday morning at the Fukuda Denshi Arena, and it’s a J-League showdown between JEF United and Machida Zelvia. Yoshiyuki Kobayashi and Go Kuroda will be doing all they can to claim victory. Analysing both teams' last 20 J-League matches, as well as trends within the competition and the betting market, to generate our percentage predictions. All the statistics, including head-to-heads, are shown below, alongside odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's fairly unlikely that this game will serve up more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and statistics point in the same direction as KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. JEF United and Machida have rarely served up thrillers of late, whether that be in J-League individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.25.

Goal Statistics

Machida Zelvia's defensive record is to be admired, G. Kuroda's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive J-League matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for JEF United makes sense in this context.
