J-League Predictions

J-League stats and tips

Cerezo v Yokohama - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at Yanmar Stadium Nagai will be anticipating goals galore on Saturday, and they're right to, if Cerezo Osaka's recent record is to be continued. Both teams have scored in 27 of their 37 J-League fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.

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

Low scoring fixtures aren't always boring, but fans of Tokyo Verdy 1969 have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this term. 27 of their side's games 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 goals into this encounter 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, goals have generally followed. Both sides have scored in each of their last 5 matches against one another, 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 looking forward to facing Kyoto Sanga in J-League on Saturday. K. Cho's side have led at HT and gone on to claim victory at FT in more games than any other team in the J-League this term - 11 times in total. That stat suggests there's every chance of it being a tough morning for Vissel Kobe, and that backing Kyoto Sanga in the halftime fulltime market would be a great shout at odds of 5.00.

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

It might not be a record they're particularly proud of, but Avispa Fukuoka currently lead all opposition in J-League when it comes to games drawn at both HT and FT this season, with their tally now at 11 in 37 outings. They will put that unwanted consistency on the line versus Nagoya Grampus Eight at Nagoya Mizuho Athletic Stadium on Saturday, in a fixture that could see yet another tie.

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 consistently struggled against Shimizu S-Pulse in the league in recent years. The two sides have met on 5 occasions since 2023, and Shimizu S-Pulse have remained 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

We may have a high-scoring affair on our hands when Tokyo and Albirex Niigata go head-to-head on Saturday morning in J-League. R. Matsuhashi and T. Irie's XIs are capable of delivering at the top of the park, and KickOff's well-informed users have faith in them to illustrate that at Ajinomoto Stadium. 10 of them have saved a bet the game to have 3 goals or more during the 90 mins. 1.80 is the most-enticing price we've found for that bet, and the fans in the ground will enjoy their afternoon as much as the tipsters if it comes in.

Urawa Reds v Kawasaki - Both Teams To Score - yes

When Urawa Reds and Kawasaki Frontale have met in the J-League, goals have generally followed. Both sides have found the net in each of their last 8 matches against one another, so the National Olympic Stadium crowd will be expecting another thriller on Saturday morning.
