JapanCurrent form
Kawasaki is having a rather weak season. In the national championship, the team is only in 11th place, which is an extremely weak result for a Champions League participant.

They had a chance to win the league cup until the very end, but in the semi-finals, Kawasaki was unable to put up a fight with Albirex Niigata (1:4, 0:2).

2.45Tip and bets
The hosts have been showing good football in recent matches and will probably be able to please their fans in the match against Kawasaki. The visitors have completely given up fighting in the championship, and they recently played a match against a strong opponent in the Champions League. We believe that the team will not have enough strength to fight against Kyoto. We suggest betting on the success of the home team.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Kyoto for 1.95
Bet on total
Both teams love and know how to play in attack, but the total of 3.5 goals seems too high to us. The visitors are tired after the match in the Champions League, and the efforts of the hosts are unlikely to be enough to reach such a high mark. Most likely, the opponents will stop at two or three goals scored.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.60
Betting on yellow cards
The rivals have little to fight for this season, so the players will probably try to avoid unnecessary injuries. Most likely, there won't be a lot of hard clashes here, so don't expect many yellow cards.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 yellow cards with odds of 1.65
