Under 2.5 Total Goals in Vissel Kobe vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima (11:00 BST) @ 4/7

In the Japanese J1 League, Vissel Kobe host Sanfrecce Hiroshima at the Noevir Stadium, looking to create a four-point gap on their visitors.

Just a point and a place separate the sides going into this game, and there wasn't much between them at the end of last season as runners-up Hiroshima missed out on the title to champions Kobe by four points.

Kobe won 3-1 at Hiroshima last July, but the reverse fixture in Kobe finished goalless, and under 2.5 goals has been a winning selection in four of the last five head-to-heads.

In February of this year, Hiroshima beat Kobe 2-0 in the Japanese Super Cup, played in a neutral venue in Tokyo.

Today's Football Fixtures

Kobe and Hiroshima have identical records in the J1 League 'under 2.5 goals' table, with each side seeing 57% (12/21) of their games so far this season end with two or fewer goals.

The selection has landed in five of Hiroshima's last seven away trips, and was a winner in Kobe's last game, a goalless draw at Avispa Fukuoka last Saturday.

Both Teams to Score - Yes in FC Seoul vs Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors (11:30 BST) @ 10/11

Over in South Korea, FC Seoul and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors meet in the Korea Cup, with the quarter-final tie taking place at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

The sides have met there already this season in the K League 1, with Jeonbuk claiming a 1-0 victory on their trip to the capital on May 3.

The following month, though, at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium on June 21, Seoul collected a point in a 1-1 draw.

The Dark Red Warriors have played once since then, beating the Pohang Steelers 4-1 last Sunday, which made it a fifth successive match in which both teams had scored.

Football Odds

Two days earlier, Jeonbuk went away to Gimcheon Sangmu and won 2-1, their third successive game in which BTTS-Yes had landed.

The K League 1 leaders have now scored in six consecutive contests, and will fancy their chances of scoring against a Seoul side that hasn't kept a clean sheet in their last five.

However, having recorded just a single shutout in their last five matches, Jeonbuk's defence isn't exactly watertight, and they could struggle to contain a Seoul outfit that has struck at least once in their last nine games across all competitions.

Seoul beat Daejeon Korail 2-1 in the last 16, while Jeonbuk overcame a late scare against Daejeon to triumph 3-2.

I'm backing both sides to be involved in another cup tie where both teams score.

Match Result & Both Teams to Score - Inter Turku & Yes vs Mariehamn (16:00 BST) @ 9/5

In the first of two matches in the Finnish Veikkausliiga, Inter Turku take on Mariehamn at Veritas Stadion.

Inter Turku, who finished seventh in the 12-team standings last year, are currently second in the league, with three games in hand on leaders KuPS.

Twelve points below them, in eighth, are Mariehamn, who ended the last campaign in 10th, 11 points behind their next opponents.

Inter Turku reigned supreme in their meetings last season, winning 3-0 at home and 1-0 on their travels, and they beat Mariehamn 2-0 in the Liiga Cup in January of this year, despite going down to 10 men just before half-time.

Mariehamn took a point in the first league fixture of the campaign, though, with four goals shared in a 2-2 draw on May 10.

At home, Inter Turku are expected to maintain their unbeaten start in the Veikkausliiga and return to winning ways after a 2-2 draw at Gnistan last Friday.

However, while I think the hosts will claim all three points, I believe Mariehamn can get on the scoresheet, having struck in their last six games across all competitions, half of which they have lost.

Inter Turku, meanwhile, have conceded in two of their last three matches, and have seen both teams score in 58% (7/12) of their league contests this term.

To Win to Nil - HJK Helsinki (Yes) vs FF Jaro (16:00 BST) @ 1/1

Staying in Finland, I'm backing HJK Helsinki, who scooped four consecutive titles before finishing one point behind last season's champions KuPS, to keep a clean sheet in victory over FF Jaro at Bolt Arena.

HJK are enduring a below-par campaign by their lofty standards, as they are fifth at the time of writing, and suffered a 3-0 defeat at KuPS last Friday.

The damage was really done at the start of the season, though, as they lost their first three games, failing to score in the second and third. They recovered to win five of their next six, though, and hadn't lost since April 22 prior to last week's defeat.

At home, they're particularly strong, picking up 13 points from 18 on offer.

Jaro, meanwhile, are 10th, 12 points behind HJK, whom they lost 3-0 to at home on May 11.

The newly-promoted side, who finished as runners-up in last year's Ykkosliiga, have lost their last two away games, 3-1 to SJK and 3-2 to KTP. To their credit, they did score in both defeats, but might find things even more difficult in Helsinki on Wednesday, with HJK keeping five clean sheets across their last eight contests in all competitions.
