Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

Neither Nagoya or Machida are in the sort of form that would leave us feeling very confident in tipping a match winner, so instead we've gone for over 1.5 goals. The statistics show that both have a track record in this market, both individually and when going head-to-head. We're predicting there's a 78% chance of two goals or more.

Goal Statistics

Machida Zelvia's defensive record is very strong, G. Kuroda's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive J-League outings. An average PG rating of 1.3 for Nagoya Grampus Eight makes sense in this context.

Machida Zelvia have been reliable in attack of late, finding the net in 6 consecutive J-League games. Their PG of 1.6 against Nagoya Grampus Eight on Sunday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
