Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Rikizo Matsuhashi and Michael Skibbe to park the bus here, but we do not expect a flood of goals as Tokyo and Hiroshima 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 looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.67 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we recommend.
