If you’re backing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Tochigi City FC at 1.47 to win feels a tad skinny given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the J-League 3 this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — stats nerds would fade them.
Kochi United’s 5.8 line tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
