View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest signal points to Vegalta Sendai leading at the break and holding on to their advantage through to the final whistle.

Their prospects of a full-time win are also supported by a record of 3 wins in their last 5 matches compared with Jubilo’s 2, as well as an average of 2.4 goals scored against 1.4. However, this is not a certain pick: in their matches so far this season, Vegalta have led at half-time only once in 4 games, while Jubilo have averaged 1.5 goals per match compared with the hosts’ 1.0.
