1.70Tip and bets
The hosts still have a chance to win the championship and a match with one of the outsiders is a great opportunity to get closer to the goal. The team has won four games in a row and is clearly capable of beating one of the outsiders. We believe that there will be no sensation here and Hiroshima will win on its home field.
Our prediction is a victory for Hiroshima at 1.67
Bet on total
The hosts have hardly missed any goals in recent matches and will probably continue to play reliably in defense. At the same time, the visitors have not lost by a large margin in recent matches, so it can be assumed that the game will not be productive.
Bet - total under 2.5 goals. This bet is offered with odds of 2.05
Bet on corners
It is unlikely that the teams will force the events in attack, so we do not think that we will see more than ten corners in this match.
Bet - total under 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
