What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from FC Tokyo and 1.4 from Kyoto, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.5-1.4), and we make both teams to score about 55%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 55 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.79, which works out at about 56 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

What the numbers say
FC Tokyo are unbeaten in their last five — four wins and one draw.
Kyoto have won two of their last five.
Four of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
Both teams scored in one of the last five meetings.

One thing to watch

A clean sheet at either end undoes it, and one side shutting up shop is always on the cards. We make it about 55% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
