Avispa Fukuoka vs Albirex Niigata: Prediction for the Match on June 21, 2025

Prediction for the J1 League game between Avispa Fukuoka and Albirex Niigata, which will be held at the Best Denki Stadium, downtown Japan.

A preview of the game team statistics, emerging lineup, and several betting options are available below.

Avispa Fukuoka: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LDLDW

The Fukuoka Hornets stung Okayama Fagiano last week in a 1-0 encounter that gave the premonition of a goalless stalemate by the end of the first half. 

Their last three league home games produced two stalemates and one loss with the team scoring one goal in three games. As such, not much can be expected from them on the attacking front. However, they have different tales in the Emperor and the J League Cup, which has seen them stake victory, backed with goals.

Fukuoka's mid-table place has stirred mixed reactions from both critics and fans, whose expectation of decline continues to undergo probation. In five recent weeks, they have accrued only one win, with two losses and stalemates. 

Avispa Fukuoka: Lineup

Team: In this lineup, Work is needed in the goal-scoring quarters, with the team only registering two goals in the last five games. The conservative style Fukuoka plays ends in wastage the majority of the time, leaving the workload on the defenders to prevent goals. 

Players: Tomoya Ando, scorer of the goal in the last match is the player of observance in this game. While Coach Myung Hwi Kim looks to keep him in the left back, his offside runs can prove detrimental to the opposition, especially in cases where his line of vision covers his attacking wingers.

Predicted Lineup(3-4-2-1): Obata, Ando-Tashiro-Kamijima, Fujimoto-Akino-Matsuoka-Hashimoto, Kitajima-Konno, Wellington.

Head Coach: Myung Hwi Kim

Out: Nil

Albirex Niigata: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: DLWLW

Albirex Niigata’s 1-0 win over Yokohama Marinos last week was a hard turn from the previous 3-0 loss to Nagoya Grampus, who worsened their struggles in the last eight matches, dumping on their opportunity to win despite the huge favoritism placed on them. 

Able to only take seven points from the last five games, it’s no wonder how the team remains in the eighteenth spot. Away from home, they have played four matches to compile two losses, one win and one stalemate.

That Niigata struggles with goals is no longer news and currently, they play as the second worst porous team defensively barely making it past each game without a form of casualty or another.  

Albirex Niigata: Lineup

Team: As described, the team puts up a good show in the midfield, leaving separate explanations for the defenses and attack. The whole team needs a complete overhaul, with errors in each game leading to concessions that eventually becomes hard targets to meet.

Players: The players are a bunch of averages with no significant influence on either the game or team spirit. Inamura will however be considered in his defensive domain as a rock, expected to frustrate all attacking efforts of the opposition.

Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Tashiro, Fujiwara-Fitzgerald-Inamura-Hashimoto, Danilo-Miyamoto-Hoshi-Okumura, Hasegawa-Taniguchi

Head Coach: Daisuke Kimori

Out: None
