The bets. Best bet: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.18, 75% on the records (RB Omiya Ardija: over 1.5 goals in 6 of 8; Yokohama FC: over 1.5 goals in 5 of 5 away). Backup: 2nd Half - Over/Under: Over 0.5 at 1.16. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: RB Omiya Ardija or Over 2.5 Goals (the call backs Yokohama FC); Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read); RB Omiya Ardija or Over 1.5 Goals (the call backs Yokohama FC). Predicted score: RB Omiya Ardija 1-2 Yokohama FC (8% chance).
