Bookies Think FCT Most Likely to Win

The bookies have FC Tokyo at +125 when it comes to Full-Time Result. This implies that the favourites are 44% likely to win this J1 League encounter according to the latest betting odds. Tokyo Verdy are the underdogs at +210 which implies a lesser percentage prospect of winning.
