LiontipsTokyo - Kobe: betting tip and bets on the Japanese Championship match (May 10, 2025) from UPU
Command Analysis
Current form
Tokyo is still in the bottom half of the standings and ranks 16th after 14 matches played. The capital's team is only four points ahead of Albirex Niigata and Yokohama from the relegation zone. The fans of the hosts are used to seeing their team at least in the top 10, so such a result cannot please. The Tokyo team played very well in recent matches - they managed to beat Gamba Osaka (3:0) and Albirex Niigata (3:2), go further in the League Cup, beating Omiya in extra time, and the hosts lost only to Shimizu (0:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
In-hwang Baek will miss the match due to injury. The appearance of Keita Endo on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last six matches.
- Tokyo has scored only one victory in the last five home matches.
Approximate composition: Nozawa - Enrique, Kimura, Doi-Endo, Hashimoto, Ko, Koizumi- Tawaratsumida, Sato - Marcelo Ryan
Current form
Kobe won the league title in 2023 and 2024, but the team started this season very poorly and even spent some time in the relegation zone. Nevertheless, the players managed to pull themselves together and have already reached the eighth place. Now the club is only six points behind the top three. Recently, the guests won four matches in a row, but the series was interrupted by a 1-3 home defeat to Cerezo Osaka on May 6. Now Takayuki Yoshida's team will try to prove that this failure was just an accident.
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the squad on the eve of the away match.
Interesting betting trends
- None of the last 12 matches of the guests ended in a draw.
- The visitors have scored in the last five league matches.
Approximate line-up: Maekawa - Hirose, Cayetano, Yamakawa, Sakai - Saito, Miyashito, Ideguti - Yuruki, Sasaki, Eric

Bet on the total
Today's opponents have something to prove. The hosts found themselves near the relegation zone and will strive to break away from the danger zone in the near future. At the same time, the guests are only in the middle of the standings, but they still plan to compete for the championship. Both of them will fight only for victory, so we should expect attacking football. Most of the recent face-to-face matches turned out to be productive, and for sure this time the teams will be pleased with the goals.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 2.15 minutes.
Betting on corners
We believe that both opponents will actively create chances at the other's goal, which will lead to a large number of corner kicks. We suggest betting on a total of more corners.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 9.5 corners in 1.96
