Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It's not the news we want to be reporting, but we're not predicting a goal-fest here. The statistics suggest Vissel Kobe and Fagiano both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds suggest it's likely there's fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think that's a great shout and, with no obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.
