Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We're expecting a relatively tight affair here and, as such, are predicting under 2.5 goals. This means that we expect 2 goals or fewer will be scored in total as Nagoya and Cerezo go head-to-head. Clear game plans will be required to deliver us a winner, but we have reason to trust both sides to deliver exactly that. The stats and the odds below point in this direction too.
