They managed to take second place in the group in the continental championship, so now the hosts will take part in the playoffs, where they will play Shanghai Shenhua.

2.18Tip and bets
Strangely enough, in the last three face-to-face matches, the hosts have never won. For sure, Kawasaki will still win the long-awaited victory over Kyoto in the upcoming match, but the level of the teams is not comparable at the moment. The hosts have made a great start to the season and look much stronger than the guests. We think that the favorite will surely win in this confrontation.
Our prediction is that Kawasaki will win in 1.75
Bet on the total
The hosts play great football at the start of the season and score regularly both in the domestic championship and in the Champions League. For sure, in the duel with Kyoto, the team will choose an attacking style of play, so it will be difficult for the guests to keep their goal dry. We think that the game will open up pretty quickly and as a result, the clubs will give the fans an unforgettable sight.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.65
Betting on corners
We assume that the hosts will have the initiative on the field from the first to the last minute. In this scenario, the advantage of the favorite in terms of the number of corners is almost inevitable.
Our betting tip is the Asian handicap (-1.5) on the Kawasaki corners in 1.80
