What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from Cerezo Osaka and 0.8 from Verdy, so Cerezo Osaka 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: Not both teams to score. This shapes up as a quiet, low-key game — around 2.2 goals between the two (xG 1.3-0.8). One side keeping it tight for a clean sheet is well on the cards.

We put the chance of that landing at about 52 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.79, which works out at about 56 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Cerezo Osaka have won three of their last five.
Verdy have not won any of their last five.

One thing to watch

Both these sides carry some threat, so one moment at either end spoils it. We make it about 55% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
