Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Takayuki Yoshida and Daniel Poyatos Algaba to park the bus here, but we do not expect a deluge of goals as Vissel Kobe and Gamba Osaka go head-to-head. The statistics 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 1.70 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we recommend.
