Ventforet Kofu welcomes Fujieda MYFC to JIT Recycle Ink Stadium on March 9, 2025, for what promises to be a closely contested J2 League battle. The bookmakers have Kofu as slight favorites at 1.91, while a draw sits at 3.40, and an away win is priced at 3.88. But are the odds telling the full story? Let’s break it down.

1X2 Betting Analysis
The AI-generated 1X prediction (Ventforet Kofu to win or draw) comes with a trust level of 2.0 and odds of 1.25. While this isn’t the most confident call, history suggests it’s a safe play. Kofu dominated their last head-to-head encounter, winning 3-0, and with home advantage on their side, they’ll be looking to repeat that performance. However, Fujieda MYFC has proven they can pull off surprises, as seen in their 2-0 win over Shimizu S-Pulse at odds of 6.0.

Looking at J2 League trends, home teams win 34.0% of the time, while away sides take 29.5% of victories. With a 36.5% draw rate, a stalemate isn’t off the table. Given these numbers, backing 1X seems the safest option, though it may not offer the best value.

Goals Market: Under 3.5 Goals
The AI’s top tip is Under 3.5 goals with a confidence of 5.6/10 and odds of 1.29. This aligns with league trends—only 20.8% of J2 League matches exceed 3.5 goals. Additionally, 59.6% of games see over 1.5 goals, while just 39.8% surpass 2.5 goals.

The predicted final score of 1-1 suggests a tight contest, and with both teams having similar squad values (€4.85m vs. €5.12m), we could see a balanced affair. Interestingly, the AI predicts a 0-1 halftime score, hinting that Fujieda MYFC might start strong before Kofu claws back.

Final Verdict
For cautious bettors, 1X at 1.25 is the safest route, though the value isn’t great. If you’re looking for a slightly riskier but well-supported bet, Under 3.5 goals at 1.29 makes sense given the league’s scoring trends. Expect a tight, tactical battle—just don’t expect a goal-fest!
