Kyoto Sanga meet Avispa Fukuoka at Sanga Stadium by KYOCERA, with kick-off set for 00:00 on Sunday 22 February.

We’re expecting at least one team to draw a blank when Kyoto Sanga and Avispa Fukuoka meet and that leads us to the BTTS No selection. We think odds of -128 look attractive for this outcome.
