Match announcement
Sagan Tosu
JapanCurrent form
Sagan Tosu is having an absolutely disastrous season and deservedly ends up at the bottom of the standings, with only 26 points after 34 matches. The gap to its closest competitor is six points, and there are as many as 13 points left to leave the relegation zone. It is clear that such a gap cannot be made up in the remaining time, and the team results have not improved by the end of the season - Sagan has not won for four months. After a series of six defeats in a row, the club from Tosu managed to draw with Fukuoka (0:0) and Tokyo (0:0), but lost again in the last round, this time to Kyoto (0:2).

Machida Zelvia
JapanCurrent form
Apparently, it is too early for Matida Zelvia to fight for the championship. For some time, the visitors were considered one of the main favorites in the fight for first place in the table, but over time, the team still fell behind Kobe and Hiroshima. The visitors are already five points behind second place, and seven behind first place. Nevertheless, even bronze medals are an excellent result for a newcomer to the division, the main thing is to be able to retain third place, because the gap from competitors is only three points. The club has not played well in its last matches - after defeats from Hiroshima (0:2) and Kawasaki (1:4), a draw with Kashiwa (1:1) followed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Takuya Yasui, Shunta Araki, Yuta Nakayama and Kai Shibato will not play for the visitors due to injuries.

- The team has not won for four matches in a row.
- The club has won only one of its last six away games
Estimated lineup : Tani - Mochizuki, Dreshevich, Shoji, Sugioka - Soma, Shirasaki, Sento, Vasquez - Fujio, Oh

For the hosts, the season is already largely over. Perhaps this is why the team has been showing such weak results lately. The visitors still have motivation - the team has not yet secured bronze medals, so they need to win to prevent their competitors from catching up. We believe that Matida Zelvia will be able to beat the league main outsider and win their first victory in five matches.
Our prediction is a victory for Matida Zelvia at 1.62
Bet on total
Both teams are not doing well in defense and concede quite often. Most likely, the opponents will play attacking football to hide the shortcomings in defense. With this style of play, a high-scoring match is likely. We suggest betting on a high total.

Bet on corners
If Matida Zelvia plays its best football, it will achieve victories in many areas, and corner kicks will not be an exception.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) for "Matidu Zelvia" on corners with odds of 1.88
