Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner here, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Kawasaki and Kashima will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Igor Jovicevic or Toru Oniki has served up too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.22 equating to roughly a 75% probability.
