Iwaki vs Renofa Yamaguchi tips and predictions

Upset klaxon for Renofa Yamaguchi

Renofa Yamaguchi might surprise the hosts here but it would be a big shock. They are genuine outsiders so this isn't a confident prediction.

For sure, the hosts are rightly the short price favourites but they are not invincible. Iwaki haven't been reliable from a betting point of view. They've lost 2 of their last 3 games at home. They must improve at the back. Conceding an average of 1.9 goals in their latest 10 matches on their own soil has given them plenty to think about.

Renofa Yamaguchi have actually won 3 of their last 5 away matches. In defence they have also posted some good numbers. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 away matches. If the visiting side puts everything together they could get an unlikely result against the odds. Most of their wins have been secured by their quality in front of goal. They've scored at least once in 9 of their last 10 games and to get anything from the game they'll need to add to that run.

There's also a uninspiring backup bet in the Both Teams To Score No market.
