What to expect
We expect about 1.5 goals from Urawa Reds and 1.5 from Yokohama F. Marinos, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 3.0 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Urawa Reds come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Over 1.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 3.0 goals between the two (xG 1.5-1.5), landing about 77% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.
We put the chance of that landing at about 77 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.

One thing to watch
If one side settles for what they have, or the game turns cagey, the goals can dry up in a hurry.
