Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's 79% chance of Shimizu and Avispa a maximum of 3 goals combined during this J-League match according to our predictive algorithm and, without a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Our calculations are made based on 20-game form, historical head-to-head (H2H) stats and the view of the betting market, and you can back it at 1.17.
