Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It's not the news we want to be reporting, but we don't predict a high-scoring affair here. The stats suggest Urawa Reds and Nagoya both can struggle to find the net on occasion, and the odds point towards a tie with fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, with no obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.

Goal Statistics

Nagoya Grampus Eight's defensive record is to be admired, Kenta Hasegawa's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive J-League games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Urawa Reds makes sense in this context.
