Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We don't believe there is a clear favourite to claim victory here, but what is clear is that the odds suggest it'll have no more than 3 goals. Our statistical analysis says the same. Tokyo Verdy and Kashima have delivered plenty of under 3.5 goal games recently, and key performance statistics point towards an extension of that record. We have confidence in predicting under 3.5 goals on Saturday morning, and the bookies have it priced at 1.25.

Goal Statistics

An absolutely dreadful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Tokyo Verdy 1969 fans, as should a 11 J-League matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Kashima Antlers have been consistent in front of goal of late, finding the net in 7 consecutive J-League games. Their PG of 1.5 against Tokyo Verdy 1969 on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
