1.63Tip and bets
On paper, the visitors look stronger than their opponents, but Kashiwa has a very successful history of playing against Kobe in head-to-head matches. In the last four matches, there have been two wins for the hosts and two draws. Reysol has been giving every opponent a run for their money lately, so the underdog could well upset the current Japanese champion.
Our prediction - Kashiwa Reysol will not lose at 1.67
Bet on total
The opponents will probably try to play cautiously, because the next stage is at stake and any mistake in defense can cost a lot. Most likely, the game will be closed, so do not expect a goal extravaganza.
Bet - total under 2.5 goals. This bet is offered with odds of 1.82
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 1.82
