What to expect
We expect about 1.4 goals from Mito and 0.8 from Shimizu S-Pulse, so Mito 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.
Shimizu S-Pulse come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Under 3.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.2 goals in total (xG 1.4-0.8), keeping it under more often than not (about 77%). Clear chances should be at a premium.
We put the chance of that landing at about 74 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.32, which works out at about 76 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
