Avispa Fukuoka v Machida Zelvia : J-League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 29th Mar, 06:00 BST, Best Denki Stadium (Fukuoka), Fukuoka

Do-Kyun Kim and Go Kuroda pit their wits in the J-League on Saturday morning, as Avispa Fukuoka face Machida Zelvia at the Best Denki Stadium (Fukuoka). J-League stats are the most important part of the predictions you'll find below, with head-to-head history included too. There's so much to explore, with infographics and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers available for the biggest betting markets using the tabs.


Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Do-Kyun Kim and Go Kuroda to got all-out defensive here, but we certainly don't expect to see a glut of goals as Avispa and Machida go head-to-head. The stats belowpoint towards there being 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 1.36 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.
