2.85Tip and bets
Kawasaki is failing the season in the championship and the only chance to brighten it up is to win the League Cup. Overall, despite the crisis, the hosts definitely have a chance of success, and they were frankly lucky with the draw. Kofu is focused on the fight for a place in the championship playoffs and is unlikely to be able to play with the most fighting lineup in the League Cup, and overall the guests are seriously inferior in class and experience - it makes sense to count on a confident victory for the favorite.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Kawasaki . This bet is offered with odds of 1.99
Bet on total
Kawasaki will undoubtedly be in a determined mood today and will attack with great force from the first minutes. It is unlikely that Kofu has a chance to avoid problems and missed goals in a confrontation with an opponent superior in class, but at the same time the visitors have nothing to lose, they play boldly and regularly score, it is quite possible to score a goal of prestige.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.81
Bet on corners
Kawasaki are the favourites and will probably dominate for the entire 90 minutes – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Kawasaki. This bet is offered for 1.85
