J-League Predictions

J-League stats and tips

Machida v Shimizu - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

Shimizu S-Pulse will be looking to avoid adding to the 7 games they have already been behind in at both the break and the final whistle this season when they take on Machida Zelvia on Saturday. Tadahiro Akiba's side already top the rest of J-League in that category, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss G. Kuroda will be licking his lips, however.

Fagiano v Hiroshima - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring encounters aren't always boring, but fans of Fagiano Okayama have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 17 of their side's encounters in J-League have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Michael Skibbe and his Sanfrecce Hiroshima team be capable of adding some goals into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?

Cerezo v Gamba Osaka - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at Yanmar Stadium Nagai will be fully expecting action at both ends on Saturday, and they're right to, if Cerezo Osaka's recent record is to be continued. Both teams have found the net in 15 of their 22 J-League fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.

Kashiwa v Tokyo - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw

SANKYO FRONTIER Kashiwa Stadium is the backdrop as Kashiwa Reysol and Tokyo go head-to-head on Saturday morning, in what might just be a tight affair. Ricardo Soares's side have the most score draws of any club in the league - 7 in 22 games. An extension of that record has best odds of 5.00.

Kawasaki v Kashima - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

Igor Jovicevic won't be looking forward to facing Kashima Antlers in J-League on Saturday. Toru Oniki's side have led at the break and gone on to secure the win at final whistle in more games than any other side in the J-League this season - 7 times in total. That record suggests it may be a demoralising morning for Kawasaki Frontale, and that backing Kashima Antlers in the HT FT market would be a great shout at odds of 5.00.

Kyoto Sanga v Albirex - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming fixture between Albirex Niigata and Kyoto Sanga could be the one for you. D. Sudo's side have lost 6 games this term in which both clubs have got on the scoresheet. That's a record in J-League.

Nagoya v Tokyo Verdy - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you fancy a thriller on Saturday morning, then the clash between Nagoya Grampus Eight and Tokyo Verdy 1969 could be worth checking out. Kenta Hasegawa's team lead J-League in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 14 of their J-League games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from H. Jofuku's men could prevent more of the same.

Vissel Kobe v Shonan - Double Chance - home win or draw

Shonan Bellmare simply have not been able to find a way past Vissel Kobe in the J-League in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 6 occasions since 2022, and Vissel Kobe have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at NOEVIR Stadium Kobe could be a really difficult one for Satoshi Yamaguchi & co.
