My Prediction
Kawasaki Frontale by 1Looking at this match-up, we have Kawasaki Frontale and Shonan Bellmare facing off. Both teams seeming to prefer a good old stalemate if their regular season records of 3-2-1 and 3-2-2 respectively are anything to go by.
If we were to place faith in the hands of goalkeepers, we'd have to look at Shonan Bellmare's Naoto Kamifukumoto and his solid 6.80 rating with 6 saves. Paired against him are Kawasaki Frontale's keepers - yes they have two, because why not? Louis Yamaguchi 7.55 rated and the man behind him, Sung-Ryong Jung with a 7.10 rating. Seems like Kawasaki prefers to come to a gun-fight with a tank and a bazooka in tow, just in case.
Kawasaki is also bringing a legion of top players like Ryota Oshima, Sota Miura, and outstanding forward Erison who's netted a goal in recent times. Shonan Bellmare's impressive array includes Yuto Suzuki and Taiga Hata amongst others. But let's mention Lukian, the only player from Bellmare who seems to remember that the round thing has to go into the rectangular thing. One goal to his name, so bravo to Lukian.
Their past games don’t make things easier, albeit Kawasaki pulled a win most recently, but you’ve also got a draw in the mix.
The recent performance of Kawasaki Frontale seems a bit more solid with two wins, two draws, and a loss; compared to Shonan Bellmare who have been stuck with two losses in their most recent matches.
After digesting this gourmet feast of data, I’d sway favor to Kawasaki Frontale. They've displayed the hunger and have shown they’re not afraid to give the other team’s net a good shake. Kawasaki's double trouble goalies are also a force to reckon with.
