Albirex Niigata

Current form
Albirex Niigata managed to avoid relegation last season, but it is difficult to call such a performance a success.

The team from Niigata managed to score only one point in three matches. In the first round, Daisuke Kimori's team drew with Yokohama Marinos (1:1), but then lost to Shimizu (0:2) and Kashima (1:2). The team has played three matches in a row on the road, and now they are preparing for the first home match of the season.

Cerezo Osaka

Current form
Cerezo Osaka is a strong middleweight of the Japanese championship. The team has finished the last three seasons in the top 10. In 2024, the club finished in tenth place, but only lost to Kawasaki and Yokohama Marinos in terms of additional indicators. The new championship draw began for the guests with a crushing victory over their neighbor, Gamba Osaka (5:2). Unfortunately, it was not possible to build on the success of Artur Papastamatis' wards. The team from Osaka lost to two teams from the bottom half of the table, Senan (1:2) and Kashiwa (1:2). The club now occupies 11th place in the standings, with three points after three matches.

2.30Tip and bets
Albirex Niigata has not won a single victory yet, but in the first home match of the season, the players will be as motivated as possible and will give their all in order to please their fans. The guests managed to start the championship with a crushing victory, but then lost to not the strongest opponents. Albirex Niigata is playing quite successfully against Cerezo Osaka and has won two of the last three games against today's opponent. We think that the hosts will be stronger today.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (0) on Albirex Niigatu in 1.65
Bet on the total
The guests try to show an attacking performance in each of their matches, but because of this, the defensive game often suffers. The hosts will surely analyze the opponent's game and will be able to benefit from Cerezo Osaka's overly adventurous style of play. Most likely, the guests will attack a lot, but the hosts will respond with their counter-attacks, so there should be no shortage of goals scored here.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 2.20 minutes.
Betting on corners
We believe that no one will close in their own penalty area, and in 90 minutes of playing time, the two opponents will make a lot of serves from the corner flag.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 9.5 corners in 1.85
