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

Fri 25th Apr, 11:00 BST, Sanga Stadium by Kyocera (Kameoka), Kameoka

Kwi-Jea Cho's Kyoto Sanga side enjoy home advantage in the J-League on Friday morning, as Shuhei Yomoda's Yokohama arrive at the Sanga Stadium by Kyocera (Kameoka). The aim of this preview is, quite simply, to help you make the smartest bet possible. To this end, statistics for the biggest betting market have been published below, with head to head (H2H) records and particularly important form streaks highlighted. The best odds are provided too.


Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It's not the news we want to be reporting, but we're not predicting a goal-fest here. The statistics suggest Kyoto Sanga and Yokohama both can struggle to find the net on occasion, and the odds point towards a tie with fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think that's a great shout and, in the absence of obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals looks like a smart bet.
