My Prediction
Kawasaki Frontale by 2When we're looking at a match like this, we can't ignore the sheer magnetism of the Kawasaki Frontale side - a charm that's only multiplied when we zero in on their star players. Sota Miura, despite his lack of goals, commands attention with a noteworthy 82.1% accurate pass rating. Add to that some fiery performances from both Kota Takai and Yasuto Wakizaka, each having bagged a goal apiece, and you begin to see a picture emerge.
Switching focus to the Avispa Fukuoka, let's just say their top performers are still trying to crack the Enigma Code of finding the back of the net. Nevertheless, Tomoya Miki draws our eyes unapologetically to himself, standing head and shoulders above his teammates - with one goal, three shots on goal and a pretty impressive 81.8% accurate pass rating.
Moving onto the good ol' gloves department – the Rock of Gibraltar for the Kawasaki Frontale is Louis Yamaguchi who has managed 2 saves and is hanging onto a precariously optimistic 6.75 rating. For Avispa Fukuoka, we've got Yuma Obata, who with 4 saves, has nonetheless succumbed to a slightly lower rating of 6.65.
When we get to the history between these two titans, Kawasaki Frontale does appear to hold a slight edge, sporting a win and a draw in their favor. Those old scars might just play tricks on the mind of Avispa Fukuoka.
Looking at the recent results, you might want to start humming "We are the Champions" when you spot Kawasaki Frontale's record. They, being as invincible as comic book heroes, seem to be numbed to the taste of defeat. Avispa Fukuoka, on the other hand, aren't faring as well, having taken a few heavy blows in recent games.
Now, if I were a betting man, and thank clairvoyant squirrels I am, I'd be leaning heavily towards the Kawasaki Frontale for this one.
