Kawasaki Frontale
JapanCurrent Form
Kawasaki has struggled this season, currently sitting in 12th place in the standings. Under the guidance of coach Toru Oniki, the team has accumulated just 40 points after 31 matches. It appears they are shifting their focus away from the league. However, they still have opportunities in the AFC Champions League, where Frontale secured a 1-0 away victory against Ulsan. Additionally, they advanced to the quarterfinals of the Emperor's Cup, having faced Kofu with a 1-0 win in the first leg and a 1-1 draw in the second leg.

9.50Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has been successful in the hosts' last five matches
2.25Bet The digit 1 in the final score

1.65Tip and bets
The hosts are still in contention for the championship and are determined to fight until the end, despite a setback against their main rival. The visitors have little to play for in the league, so we believe Matida Zelvia will manage to defeat their unmotivated opponent.
Our prediction is a victory for Matida Zelvia at 2.13
Total Bet
The home team has found success through a solid defensive strategy, resulting in fewer goals scored. It is likely that this approach will continue, making a bet on a low total a wise choice.
The second bet is on under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.15.
Corner Bet
Both teams are expected to focus on defense, so a high number of corners is unlikely in this match.
Prediction: under 9.5 corners with odds of 1.80.
