Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that there's minimal chance that this game will serve up 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats are in line with our predictive algorithm on this one. Kashima and Hiroshima haven't typically served up a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in J-League individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite WDW or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.25.
