How Many Goals to Expect?

Sanfrecce Hiroshima also scores 0.8 but concedes only 0.8, with an average total of 1.6 goals per match. The over 2.5 goals bet has been successful 2 out of 5 times for both teams, and over 1.5 goals in the second half also 2 out of 5 times. In the first half, high scoring is not common: Chengdu Rongcheng has only 1 out of 5 for over 1.5, while Sanfrecce Hiroshima has none. Chengdu Rongcheng most frequently scores between the 16th and 30th minute (50%), while Sanfrecce Hiroshima scores most often in the late stages, from the 76th to the 90th minute (38%). Chengdu Rongcheng concedes most often between the 61st and 75th minute and from the 76th to the 90th minute (29% each). Overall, both teams show a restrained style of play, and with such averages, expecting a total under 2.5 makes sense.

Corner Bets

Chengdu Rongcheng's total over 9.5 corners occurred 3 times out of 5, while Sanfrecce had it 2 times. The line for the total corners is: over 9.5 at 1.74, under 9.5 at 2.11.
