Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We're anticipating a game with little to choose between the sides here and, as such, we predict under 2.5 goals. For those unfamiliar with that term, this simply means that 2 goals or fewer will be scored in total as Kashima and Machida go head-to-head. Tight defences and clear heads will be required to deliver us a winner, but we have faith in both sides to deliver precisely that. The stats and the odds below also suggest this is a strong tip.
