LiontipsSagan Tosu vs Machida Zelvia. Prediction and bets on the match of the Japanese championship
Command Analysis
Current 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).

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.
