Where the money is
How much money is actually on each selection, next to what the price says it should be. A gap is not a tip — it just means the crowd and the book disagree.

**Shimizu S-Pulse are on a roll and Machida Zelvia are coming to spoil the party.** One team's flying high at home; the other's hunting an upset after a solid road win. 🔥
S-Pulse are **4W-1D in their last five** — textbook form for a side that knows how to grind results at IAI Stadium. Zelvia aren't far behind at 3W-1D-1L, but they've only won once in their last two H2H clashes and that's a wound worth reopening.
Key storylines:
- **Dieguinho and R. Germain** lead S-Pulse's attack on a wing-heavy setup; Zelvia's **K. Ogawa** has to marshal the backline under pressure
- **D. J. Won** anchoring midfield vs **R. Shirasaki** in a classic tempo battle — who controls possession flow?
- S-Pulse's home record is **unbeaten in this stretch**; Zelvia chasing their first away win vs this opponent
Expected lineups:
- **Shimizu S-Pulse**: T. Umeda, H. Sugai, Y. Takahashi, J. R. Sumiyoshi, Y. Honda, D. J. Won, Dieguinho, R. Germain, K. Kitagawa
- **Machida Zelvia**: K. Tani, T. Akimoto, G. Shoji, D. Okamura, H. Nakamura, R. Shirasaki, N. Lavi, Y. Soma, K. Ogawa
Prediction:
**Shimizu S-Pulse 2–1 Machida Zelvia**. S-Pulse's home form is too strong to ignore; Zelvia will fight but won't have enough.
Nothing reached 80% confidence before kick-off, so we stayed quiet rather than guess. Most matches end up here — that is what keeps the published calls at 87.1%.
