Best Tip: Hiroshima to win

It looks like we could well have a dominant side in this fixture, and it's Hiroshima. Their latest form stats show they're capable on home turf, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they know how to beat Shonan too. The odds point towards Michael Skibbe's side claiming victory in the win / draw / win market, and that's definitely our prediction for Saturday morning too.
