League Table Positions

Win Probability: FC Ryukyu or Giravanz Kitakyushu?

We calculate the win probability for this match as follows: FC Ryukyu has a 42% chance, the draw is at 28%, and Giravanz Kitakyushu has a 30% chance. This is based on the average bookmaker odds which imply a home win probability around 45%, but we have adjusted it down slightly due to FC Ryukyu's poor recent form. The head-to-head record gives FC Ryukyu a clear historical advantage, but Giravanz Kitakyushu's recent results in this fixture and their run of draws make the away side a live threat. Home advantage is the main factor keeping FC Ryukyu as the marginal favorite.
