Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo vs Kawasaki Frontale tips and predictions

Nothing much wrong in prices ahead of tight J1 League encounter

An impressive showing of the home side's crowd-friendly football could be decisive during this clash. This won't be a snore-fest but the match odds look pretty much spot on.

On 6 J1 League points, 11th placed Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo host 14th placed Kawasaki Frontale. The visitors aren't far behind them with 5 points.

This could just be a matter of which side wants it more. There's a bunch of people talking about an away win but the data says they'll fall short.

The hosts come into the match having put 5 wins on their resume from their last 7 home games.

At home Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo have been scoring in abundance. Their recent 7 home matches have resulted in them knocking in an average of 2.6 goals per game.

Kawasaki Frontale have gone through some tough times on the road. They've conceded one or more times in all of their last 13 away matches. To add to their concerns, goals seem to be in short supply for them too. The visitors have not scored goals in all of their last 3 matches.

To be fair, it won't be a surprise to see them share the spoils. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they can both be dangerous in front of goal. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter. In the total goals market, it's more than two goals standing out in this one given the prices available there.
