J-League Predictions

J-League stats and tips

Cerezo v Yokohama - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Yanmar Stadium Nagai will be anticipating action at both ends on Saturday, and they're right to, if Cerezo Osaka's past record is to be continued. Both teams have found the net in 27 of their 37 J-League matches this season, more than any side in the competition.

Gamba Osaka v Tokyo Verdy - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring games aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Tokyo Verdy 1969 have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 27 of their side's encounters in J-League have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will D. Algaba and his Gamba Osaka team be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

Kashima v Yokohama FM - Both Teams To Score - yes

When Kashima Antlers and Yokohama F. Marinos have met in the J-League, they've delivered proper entertainment. Both sides have found the net in each of their last 5 clashes, so the Kashima Soccer Stadium crowd will be expecting another classic on Saturday morning.

Kyoto Sanga v Vissel Kobe - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

T. Yoshida won't be too excited about the prospect of playing Kyoto Sanga in J-League on Saturday. K. Cho's side have led at halftime and gone on to win at final whistle more often than any other side in the J-League this season - 11 times in total. That record suggests it may be a difficult morning for Vissel Kobe, and that backing Kyoto Sanga in the HT FT market could be a great shout at odds of 5.00.

Nagoya v Avispa - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw

It may not be an honour they're particularly proud of, but Avispa Fukuoka currently lead all opponents in J-League when it comes to matches in which they have been level at both the break and the final whistle this term, with their tally now at 11 in 37 games. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test versus Nagoya Grampus Eight at Nagoya Mizuho Athletic Stadium on Saturday, in a fixture that could see yet another dead heat.

Hiroshima v Shonan - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

Shonan Bellmare will be looking to avoid adding to the 13 times they have already been losing at both the break and the final whistle this season when they play Sanfrecce Hiroshima on Saturday. S. Yamaguchi's team already top the rest of J-League in that category, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss M. Skibbe , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.

Shimizu v Fagiano - Double Chance - home win or draw

Fagiano Okayama have found something of a bogey team in Shimizu S-Pulse in the league in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 5 occasions since 2023, and Shimizu S-Pulse have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Iwagin Stadium could be another hard one for Yuki Kosaka & co.

Tokyo v Albirex - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Entertainment is the name of the game, and there's reason to expect plenty of it when Tokyo and Albirex Niigata meet on Saturday morning in J-League. R. Matsuhashi and T. Irie's teams know how to score at this level, and KO's well-informed bettors have faith in them to illustrate that at Ajinomoto Stadium. 10 of them are betting on there to be at least 3 goals during the 90 mins. 1.80 is the most-enticing price available for this tip, and we can think of much worse places to put your money!

Urawa Reds v Kawasaki - Both Teams To Score - yes

When Urawa Reds and Kawasaki Frontale have met in the J-League, goals have been the order of the day. Both sides have scored in each of their last 8 meetings, so the National Olympic Stadium faithful will be expecting another thriller on Saturday morning.
