LiontipsFujieda vs Chiba. Japan Championship Match Prediction and Betting Tips
Command Analysis
Current form
Fujieda is in 12th place in the J2 League standings. The club finished in the same position last season. They failed to take a step forward, because there are no more chances for promotion. The team is 12 points behind the top 6, and it is impossible to make up this gap in three matches. The hosts understand this, so they have not won a single match in the last four matches. The team lost to Shimizu (2:3), Oita (0:2) and Tokushima (0:3). Daisuke Sudo team also missed out on a victory in a home match with Iwaki (1:1).

Current form
Chiba plans to return to the elite division of Japanese football as soon as possible. The visitors can achieve this goal already this season, because the team occupies fourth place in the table. The team will no longer be able to fight for the direct promotion zone, because the gap to second place is 15 points, but Chiba will certainly fight in the playoffs. Four teams are fighting for three vacant places in the playoff zone. Three of them, including Chiba, have 58 points each, and seventh-placed Yamagata is one point behind. The "Dogs" are trying their best not to fall out of the top 6 and have won four games in a row. They managed to beat Renofu Yamaguchi (4:1), Ehime (2:1), Kusatsu (1:0) and Kofu (2:1).

2.22Tip and bets
In this match, we will give preference to the guests. The team continues to fight for a place in the playoffs and has not lost in recent matches. It is too early to relax, so Chiba will clearly give it their all. United have won the last two head-to-head matches against Fujieda and will probably be able to continue the series, given that the hosts' results in the last rounds leave much to be desired.
Our prediction is Chiba victory at 1.65
Bet on total
The visitors want to win and understand that the opponent is quite vulnerable in defense. We believe that the Chiba players will be able to take advantage of the opponent weakness and score a couple of goals. The hosts will respond with their own counterattacks and will probably realize their moment at the opponent goal. Most likely, this match will be spectacular and productive.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.55
Bet on corners
Both teams are expected to attack a lot, so we suggest betting on both clubs to score a lot of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.58
