Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Rikizo Matsuhashi and Go Kuroda to got all-out defensive here, but we're certainly not expecting a flood of goals as Tokyo and Machida go head-to-head. The stats belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we reckon it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.48 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we recommend.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Tokyo are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 41% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.35.
