The club from Niigata managed to beat Cerezo Osaka (2:1), Kyoto (2:0) and Fukuoka (1:0). However, the match with Iwata ended in a draw (2:2).

Current form
Machida Zelvia has become a real sensation this season. Few expected that the newcomer to the division would immediately claim the championship title in the J-1 League. Nevertheless, the team occupies first place in the standings, ahead of its closest competitor, Hiroshima, by four points. However, the visitors still lack stability. In their last matches, the team suffered defeats from Yokohama Marinos (1:2) and Shonan (0:1), and also had a goalless draw with Cerezo Osaka (0:0). Only in the last round did they manage to break the winless streak, beating Iwata on their home field (4:0).

In the last three head-to-head meetings, the visitors suffered a defeat from today's opponent. We believe that now is the time to return the favor, because the visitors are fighting for the championship and are showing excellent results. The team has conceded only 20 goals and has the best defense line in the championship. Most likely, the hosts will not be able to take points in this match.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Matida Zelvia for 1.60
Bet on total
Both teams are relying primarily on defense this season. It is unlikely that the opponents will force the events in attack, so the outcome of the match will most likely be decided by one goal scored.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals for 1.70
Bet on corners
The opponents will most likely choose a defensive style of play in a face-to-face match, so don’t expect a lot of corners.
