Best Tip: Hiroshima to win

A J-League victory in front of their own fans for Bartosch Gaul's Hiroshima side win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Stats suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should be too strong for their opponents. The odds from the bookies suggest so too, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A Hiroshima win is our recommendation, even if a tight match is possible.

Goal Statistics

Sanfrecce Hiroshima's defensive record is to be admired, B. Gaul's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive J-League games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Kawasaki Frontale makes sense in this context.
