Bet on total
Both teams are good at their own goal and rarely allow defensive failures. In the first match between the opponents, only one goal was scored, we think that this character of the meeting will remain in the second match.
Bet - total under 2.5 goals. This bet is offered for 1.95
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.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.95
