πŸ‘‰ Our prediction is: Sanfrecce Hiroshima to score first

While the First Team to Score market is not as familiar to most, it is nevertheless filled with potential value.

That is why Sanfrecce Hiroshima to score first is our top tip for this match. Sanfrecce Hiroshima has proven to be a dangerous side away from home with their ability to strike quickly and clinically. We expect them to play a similarly aggressive strategy against Shimizu S-Pulse, whose defence has looked somewhat shaky at times.
