What to expect
We expect about 0.9 goals from Avispa Fukuoka and 1.3 from Sanfrecce Hiroshima, so Sanfrecce Hiroshima come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.2 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.
Our pick: Avispa Fukuoka to score 1 or fewer. This is about Avispa Fukuoka's goals alone, not the game's total. We make them around 0.9 on the day, and the bet wants them to 1 or fewer, which we make about 74%.
We put the chance of that landing at about 74 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.34, which works out at about 75 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
