Radio Drama: Yokohama FM have scored and conceded in 9/10 home matches

"Yokohama FM have scored more goals per home game than anyone else in the J League"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.758/11 in Yokohama FM v Shimizu

Tobias Gourlay's tuned into Japan as Yokohama FM prepare to put on a show against Shimizu

Yokohama FM v Shimizu
Wednesday 11:30

Orgryte left it late in Sweden yesterday. Their 90th-minute consolation might not mean much to them, but it means the world to us. A 1-3 win for GAIS is a win for our BTTS bet.

It's a sharp turnaround today as we move quickly to Japan for the lunchtime game in the J League. Yokohama FM are 15th in the 18-team league and have currently won fewer points at home (nine in 10 matches) than anyone else. Despite all of this, Angelos Postecoglou's men have scored more goals per home game (19 in 10) than anyone else in the league. Both teams have scored in 9/10, with 8/10 delivering Over 2.5 Goals.

Visiting Shimizu are a couple of points better off than their hosts, but have been just as porous. They've managed one clean sheet in 11 road games. Eight of those matches have got to Over 2.5 Goals. When Shimizu have scored themselves - which we fancy them to do against leaky Yokohama - it's 7/7 high scorers. We're backing another one today.
