Oita and Omiya can light up Japan on Thursday

"The Squirrels have scored in 5/5 away games so far this season"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.1011/10 in Oita v Omiya

Tobias Gourlay makes a rare trip to Japan, where he thinks the Squirrels might be hiding a few goals

Parma 2 Ternana 0 in Italy yesterday. The hosts went two up before half time and our tails were up, but the game tailed off and our bet went with it.

We're hoping for more goals in Japan early on Thursday morning. Oita Trinita host Omiya Ardija in one of the day's 11 J League 2 games and we fancy it might be the pick of them.

After 11 rounds of the season, Oita - a mid-table team last season - are top of the pile. That's in large part because they've scored more goals (22) than anyone else. At the Oita Bank Dome they's struck 14 times in six appearances. They've managed just a couple of clean sheets there and four of those games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals in total.

Down in 13th place, Omiya have been scoring fairly freely themselves. The Squirrels have struck at least once in 5/5 away games so far. They've played four other teams from the top half of the table and their results read: 2-3, 1-2, 2-3, 1-2. We're backing them to help this one to Over 2.5 Goals as well.
