Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Ricardo Soares and Daisuke Sudo to got all-out defensive here, but we certainly don't expect to see a flood of goals as Kashiwa and Albirex go head-to-head. The statistics belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.57 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.
