Current form
Hiroshima is one of the main contenders for the championship and continues to fight for the title with Kobe, who currently occupy the first position and are two points ahead of the hosts.

It is worth noting that the club from Hiroshima is the most productive in J-League 1 - 66 goals in 34 matches, 10 more than Kobe, who occupy the second place in this indicator.

2.33Tip and bets
The hosts are in the midst of a championship fight and can't afford to make a mistake at the final stage of the season. Today they will have to face an opponent of a not very high level, so Hiroshima will probably have no problems with getting three points at their stadium. In the entire history of the confrontation, the hosts have won eight out of nine home matches, it is unlikely that we will see a different result now.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Hiroshima for 1.75
Bet on total
The hosts have no problems with attacking play, and today they only need to win, so the Hiroshima club will obviously choose an attacking style of play. We believe that we should not expect less than three goals scored in this confrontation.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.60
Bet on corners
Since the game is expected to be played on opposite sails, it is logical to choose different top totals for bets. In the additional bet, we will stop at the fact that a considerable number of flank attacks will lead to the fact that the opponents will be able to break through a decent number of passes from the corner flag for both. We will make another bet on the top total for them.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners with odds of 1.75
