Kyoto Sanga v Cerezo Osaka : J-League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 3rd May, 11:00 BST, Sanga Stadium by Kyocera (Kameoka), Kameoka

Cerezo Osaka, led by manager Arthur Thomas Papastamatis, visit Kwi-Jea Cho and his Kyoto Sanga side at the Sanga Stadium by Kyocera (Kameoka) on Saturday morning in the J-League. Our aim is to give you all the tools you need to make a smart, well-informed bet on this tie, so we've searched our expansive database and pulled out the stats that will help you do exactly that. Head-to-head and recent form is included, and it all goes into our algorithmic predictions. Odds are there to ensure you get the best price.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Kyoto Sanga and Cerezo will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Kwi-Jea Cho or Arthur Thomas Papastamatis has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.29 equating to about a 74% probability.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Kyoto Sanga are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 44% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.70.
