Current Form
This season for Senan can't be deemed a complete failure—the team remains outside the relegation zone with a six-point cushion, yet climbing to mid-table has been elusive. Recently, the club has started to turn things around, securing three consecutive wins. The Hiratsuka club defeated Kashima (3-2), Tokyo Verdy (2-0), and even title contender Hiroshima (2-1). The visitors aim to extend their winning streak, as they haven't fully secured safety from relegation yet.

1.70Tip and bets
The visitors have been playing excellent football in recent matches and aim to secure their survival as early as possible. They even managed to defeat the main title contender in their last game, so the underdog could also beat Tokyo, who are only mid-table. The motivation for the capital team isn't as high, making a victory for the visitors quite possible.
Our prediction is an Asian handicap (0) on Senan at 1.95
