Ehime v Blaublitz Akita : J2-League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 23rd Feb, 06:00 BST, Ningineer Stadium, Matsuyama

Home advantage is often beneficial in the J2-League, and Kiyotaka Ishimaru’s Ehime will have the luxury of it on Sunday morning. Ken Yoshida’s Blaublitz Akita are their visitors to the Ningineer Stadium. For each and every J2-League match, KickOff delves into the stats for seventeen major betting markets. Important stats, including head-to-head results, are then brought forward alongside odds from leading bookmakers.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think there's minimal chance that this fixture will serve up more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and stats align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Ehime and Blaublitz have seldom treated their fans to goal-fests of late, whether that be in J2-League individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, without a compelling favourite draw or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.25.
