Nagoya has generally looked good lately and will certainly strive to, at least in the first match, impose a fight on their opponent for the semi-finals. Nagoya scores regularly at home, including against Hiroshima, but at the same time makes a lot of mistakes in defense - an exchange of goals in a duel between such opponents is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95

Hiroshima has gained very strong form and is not slowing down - they will certainly not lack motivation in the League Cup.

Bet on corners
Hiroshima are the favourites and will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but Nagoya is capable of responding at home, there should be a lot of corners.
