What to expect
We expect about 1.6 goals from Vissel Kobe and 1.0 from Cerezo Osaka, so Vissel Kobe come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Our pick: Under 3.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.7 goals in total (xG 1.6-1.0), keeping it under more often than not (about 74%). 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 1.33, 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
One end-to-end spell, or a defensive mistake, and the goals can pile up before either side settles. We make it about 74% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
