Sagan Tosu vs FC Tokyo Prediction: Opponents to exchange goals

Sagan will take on Tokyo on June 26 at 13:00 (UTC+3) in round 18 of J1 League. Let’s see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

Sagan is not in the best shape for the upcoming game. They have one win, two draws, and two losses in the last five games, with a total score of 7-12. That dropped the team to eighth place in the J1 League standings with 24 points. In the last two rounds, Sagan beat Gamba 2-1 before losing to Iwata 1-3.

Of course, Tokyo can still contend for Champions League qualification, but it won't be easy. In the remaining rounds, they must make as few mistakes as possible. Albert Puig's team is eight points shy of Kawasaki, who are sitting third. In the previous three rounds, Tokyo defeated Shimizu by three unanswered goals, then defeated Kashima 3-1, but in the last round, they suffered an embarrassing 0-2 loss to Shonan.

Bookmaker analysts have given their preference to the home side, which we don't entirely agree with. In our opinion, the odds of a Sagan win are the same as those of Tokyo. The opponents have shown the same level of soccer all season long, and they're tied in the standings. With that in mind, we think they should be able to score at least one goal each.

Prediction: BTTS.
