Shimizu S-Pulse vs Yokohama Marinos Prediction

Over 2.5 goals is an analyst pick for Shimizu S-Pulse vs Yokohama Marinos (J.League): it goes against the recent numbers below, so it carries no confidence figure. Matches involving Shimizu S-Pulse produced 1.4 goals per game over their last 5, and 1 of those went over 2.5. For Yokohama Marinos it is 3.2 goals per game, with 2 of 5 over 2.5. The recent numbers point the other way: only 3 of the 10 recent games of these two teams went over 2.5. Recent results can mislead when the teams have been playing very different opposition (another league, much stronger or much weaker sides), and here the analyst expects this match to play differently.

The head-to-head points the same way: 4 of their last 5 meetings finished over 2.5 goals. Treat it as a judgement call rather than a pick backed by the numbers. The match ended 0-1, so Over 2.5 didn't come in.
