Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Takayuki Yoshida and Igor Jovicevic to got all-out defensive here, but we do not expect a deluge of goals as Vissel Kobe and Kawasaki go head-to-head. The statistics belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.80 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we recommend.
