Analysis

Both model families pick Shimizu S-Pulse, rating it at 42.6%. That figure comes from league-wide form and scoring, not from anything specific to this fixture — a consensus worth weighing, not a certainty.

They arrive from very different football. JEF United Chiba's last 5 produced 15 goals — 3.0 per game; they scored in 1 of them and conceded in 4. Shimizu S-Pulse's 5 produced 6, at 1.2 per game.

The model puts the draw at 25.2%. Our own measurements show it tends to under-rate draws, so it's worth treating that figure as a floor.

This forecast doesn't account for line-ups, injuries or suspensions. It's a statistical read of form, scoring and league strength.
