Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

It's our view that there's not a clear favourite to win this match, but what is clear is that the odds suggest it'll have no more than 3 goals. Our statistical analysis is inline with them too. Mito and Shimizu have served up a host of under 3.5 goal games recently, and key performance statistics point towards those records being extended. We have confidence in predicting under 3.5 goals on Sunday morning, and the bookmakers have it priced at 1.25.
