Recent Form: L-D-L-L-L
The hosting outfit has played woefully in the league, claiming only one point from the last five games. They lost consecutively to Urawa Reds (1-4), Yokohama F.Marinos (1-4), and Avispa Fukuoka (0-1). They emerged surprisingly victorious in the Emperor's Cup game against Cerezo Osaka, beating them off in penalties after a 1-1 game plagued both sides for the duration of the game. With four losses and one stalemate, they defend the Hiratsuka Kyujo like wounded lions and despite the underdog tag, they are capable of inflicting dents on the reputation of the visiting opposition.

Recent Form: D-D-L-L-L
The Hiroshima Boys have not fared better than the hosts for most of the league standings. They suffered a 0-2 defeat against Albirex Niigata, before settling for stalemates against Kashima Antlers (1-1) and Yokohama FC (1-1). In the Emperor’s Cup, they fared performed disappointingly against Tochigi SC, and were beaten two goals down by their junior league counterparts. However, they are slightly tipped as favorites in this game, which could end in stalemate - where both sides go away with a point each

Expert Betting Tips
A Tight game is anticipated because both sides have goal-scoring chances, an enthusiastic midfield, and hope for a next-game win.
- Regardless of this fact, We expect a Home Win Or Draw and Under Three Goals For 1.63 odds (betway)
- They seem more consistent and would try to secure the most points here. They would also seek to maintain squad consolidation since the midfield may need reinforcements to postulate chances up front. It may not be too impulsive to predict a Halftime Home Victory at 1.81 odds (1xbet)
- Both Teams are decently paired and we see anything that happens to one end, occurring on the other. Hence, our final prediction leaves BTTS at 1.71 odds (bet365)
Best of luck!
