Nagoya Grampus Eight v Albirex Niigata : J-League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 31st May, 06:00 BST, Nagoya Mizuho Athletic Stadium, Nagoya

the Nagoya Mizuho Athletic Stadium crowd welcome Albirex Niigata's travelling contingent on Saturday morning, as Kenta Hasegawa's Nagoya Grampus Eight clash with Daisuke Sudo's team in the J-League. We've got predictions, tips, and odds and head-to-head stats across the biggest markets, so there really is only one place to get ready for this J-League clash.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Kenta Hasegawa and Daisuke Sudo to park the bus here, but we do not expect a glut of goals as Nagoya and Albirex go head-to-head. The statistics belowsuggest there will be under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying that's a good shout here. With best odds of 1.50 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we're recommending.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Nagoya are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 47% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.00.
