Match announcement
Kawasaki Frontale
JapanCurrent form
Kawasaki is only 11th in the J. League 1 standings with 49 points. The team, led by Toru Onika, has scored a lot of points in recent matches. If the hosts of the upcoming match had played like this from the very beginning, they would now be fighting for the championship.
Things weren't going well for Kawasaki in the Asian Champions League either. The team managed to pick up only three points in the first three rounds. After a 1-0 win over Ulsan, they suffered losses to Gwangju (0-1) and Shanghai Shenhua (0-2). After that, they still managed to win over Shanghai Port (3-1), Buriram United (3-0) and Shandong Taishan (4-0).

Avispa Fukuoka
JapanCurrent form
Fukuoka had a great last season, finishing seventh despite being a newcomer to the J1 League. This year, the team hasn't performed much worse, but they haven't managed to outperform. The team is in tenth place and has retained its status as a middling team in Japanese football. They won't be able to fight for the top three either, so they can just finish the season for fun. In their last home games, the team managed to beat Urawa (1:0) and Kashiwa (2:1), but lost to Cerezo Osaka (0:1) away.

The hosts are holding the season finale at a high level and are beating their opponents one after another. They managed to score five goals against Tokyo Verdy, and in the last match of the Champions League the club scored four goals. Most likely, Kawasaki wants to finish the season on a high note, so we expect a victory in front of their fans.
Our forecast is Kawasaki victory in 1.83
Bet on total
The hosts have been showing the highest performance in recent matches, and the team will probably play the last match of the Japanese championship in constant attacks. The favorite will probably impose its style of play on the opponent, so we expect to see a productive match in the last round.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on corners
We believe that no one will close themselves off in their penalty area, and over the 90 minutes of play, the opponents will make quite a few corner kicks between them.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners for 1.90
