APWin Prediction

Double Chance: Draw or Tokyo

APWin experts have analysed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Tokyo to win

Take Tokyo lightly at your own risk. While they are playing away from home, they are still a dangerous opponent that is capable of causing an upset.

Indeed, we are tipping Tokyo to win outright on the 1X2 market, where they are priced at 1.91 to win. We see Tokyo matching up well with Shimizu S-Pulse, and they have some weapons that can exploit the home side's vulnerabilities.

👉 Our prediction is: Tokyo to win the 1st half

Tokyo is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Shimizu S-Pulse a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Tokyo to win the first half.
