Shimizu S-Pulse v Avispa Fukuoka : J-League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 20th Apr, 06:00 BST, Iwagin Stadium, Morioka

the Iwagin Stadium plays host on Sunday morning, as Tadahiro Akiba's Shimizu S-Pulse are visited by Do-Kyun Kim's Avispa Fukuoka in the J-League. We want you to make a smart bet on this match, so we've sifted through our extensive database and pulled out the statistics that will help you do exactly that. Head-to-head and recent form are included, and it all goes into our algorithmic predictions. Odds from leading bookmakers are there to get you maximum bang for your buck.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Tadahiro Akiba and Do-Kyun Kim to park the bus here, but we certainly don't expect to see a glut of goals as Shimizu and Avispa go head-to-head. The stats belowsuggest there will be under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying that's a good shout here. With best odds of 1.65 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.
