1.63Tip and bets
In the last six J. League matches, Tokyo Verdy managed to score only one goal, and in the last three matches, they failed to score at all. At the same time, the team does not act quite well in defense, not conceding more than one goal in any of the matches. We think that the match with Kashima will not be productive either.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals at 1.68
Bet on the outcome
Kashima is one of the three strongest teams in the J. League, but the density at the top is quite high, so the guests can be pushed aside by their pursuers at any moment. This should be enough motivation for the guests in the match with Tokyo Verdy. We believe that the favorite will be able to win.
The second bet is a handicap (0) on "Kashima" with odds of 1.65
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will rely on defense, so do not expect a large number of corners in this match.
Betting Tip - total under 9.5 corners with odds of 1.96
