Shonan Bellmare
Current form
This season cannot be called a complete failure for Shonan - the team is still outside the relegation zone and has a handicap of six points, but has not yet managed to rise to the middle of the table. However, recently the club has begun to improve the situation, and even managed to win three times in a row. The club from Hiratsuka managed to beat Kashima (3:2), Tokyo Verdy (2:0) and even the championship contender, Hiroshima (2:1). The visitors will try to extend their winning streak, because they have not yet managed to completely protect themselves from relegation.

This pattern has worked in three of the hosts' last four matches
1.70Tip and bets
The visitors have been showing excellent football in their last matches and are trying to get rid of the race for survival as soon as possible. In the last match they managed to beat even the main contender for the championship, so the outsider can beat Tokyo, which is only in the middle of the table. The motivation of the capital team is not that high, so a victory for the visitors is quite possible.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Senan for 1.95
Bet on total
Today we expect to see a less than productive match. The visitors have not scored in the last two head-to-head matches, and the hosts have scored more than one goal in only one of the last five home matches. Most likely, the fate of the match will be decided by one or two goals scored.
Forecast - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.05
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will bet on defensive football, so do not expect a large number of corners in this match. We suggest betting on the total under this indicator.
Forecast - total under 10.5 corners with odds of 1.70
