Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Tadahiro Akiba and Do-Kyun Kim to park the bus here, but we certainly don't expect to see a glut of goals as Shimizu and Avispa go head-to-head. The stats 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 1.65 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.
