The visitors’ superior finishing and clearly stronger recent form ultimately point to an away win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Montedio have recorded BTTS in 75% of their matches, compared with 40% for Vegalta, so the season-long data offer a mixed signal. However, recent form supports both teams to score: Vegalta had BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches, and both teams conceded an average of 1.4 goals per game over that period. The visitors have recently averaged 2.2 goals per match, which, combined with the 1.73 xG Montedio concede, significantly boosts the likelihood of them scoring. The bigger question is the hosts, who have scored just 0.8 goals per game on average across their last 5 matches. However, Vegalta have also conceded 1.4 goals per game and have kept a clean sheet in only 40% of their season matches. Therefore, BTTS - Yes has a slight edge, although Montedio’s recent lack of goals limits confidence in this pick.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals: this line has been cleared in 75% of Montedio Yamagata’s matches and 100% of Vegalta Sendai’s matches. The visitors average 2.0 goals per match and have scored 2.2 per game across their last five, while the hosts have conceded an average of 1.4 goals over that period. Montedio also have attacking potential, with a season xG of 1.73, supporting a forecast of around 2.70 total goals. Higher lines are less convincing: Over 2.5 goals has landed in 50% of the hosts’ matches and 40% of the visitors’ matches, making the case for at least two goals more compelling.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Vegalta led at the break in 4 of the 5 matches included in the statistics and won 4 of them, making an away lead both at half-time and at full-time the strongest single scenario. They average 2.0 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per match, while Montedio average 1.75 and 1.0, respectively. The last 5 matches also favor the visitors: they scored an average of 2.2 goals, compared with 0.8 for the hosts, who lost 4 of those matches. The main alternative is a draw at half-time followed by a Vegalta win, as Montedio were level at the break in 3 of the 4 matches included in the statistics. Even so, an early away lead appears slightly more likely: Vegalta averaged 1.2 first-half goals and failed to lead or be level at half-time only once in 5 matches.
