In the previous round of the league Cup, the guests only managed to beat Tochigi City (1-0) from the third league with a minimum score.

1.67Tip and bets
The guests are the undisputed favorite of this confrontation, but it is worth noting that in recent matches the representative of the elite division did not look so confident. In the championship, the team from Kashima lost two matches in a row, and won the first victory in the league cup with a shaky advantage. The hosts have not lost by more than one goal in a long time, so we believe that the Yamaguchi club will put up resistance to the opponent.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1) on Renofu Yamaguchi for 1.65
Bet on the total
The opponents will be fighting to reach the next stage, so for sure the main focus will be on playing defensively. In straight-up matches, it's important to avoid defensive mistakes, so it's unlikely anyone will take much risk. We expect a careful game, so we shouldn't expect a lot of goals.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.83
Betting on corners
We believe that the opponents will rely on defense, so we should not expect a large number of flank attacks. A defensive style of play is unlikely to lead to a large number of corners.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.88
