Fagiano Okayama vs Albirex Niigata: Prediction for the Match on May 18, 2025

🏠Fagiano Okayama: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: DLLDL

Fagiano Okayama has not been fortunate to win any of their last games with three losses and two draws. Last week was a big disappointment for the players who felt they had a good chance to spar with Kashiwa Hitachi Sun Kings. Their current league standing poses little wonder, with seven losses in sixteen games.

Shy of victory in the last slice games, their home run in four recent games has been also woeful. Not much is expected from this team, who, from what we have seen from them this season, are expected to bottle this game up, being heavy underdogs.

🏁 Fagiano Okayama: Lineup

Team: Morale is doused in the home camp, the players have poor pitch communication, unnecessary passing, and sluggishness in front of goal, all militate against the team.

Players: Okayama is filled with a bunch of average players, good enough to gain promotion but weak to maintain the status quo in the senior league.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Brodersen, Abe-Tatsuta-Kudo, Sato-Fujita-Tabei-Matsumoto, Kimura-Esaka, Miereles.

👤 Head Coach: Takashi Kiyama

⛔ Out: Nil

✈️Albirex Niigata: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LDWLD

Albirex Niigata is another team that has lost the faces of their supporters numerously this season. Heavily threatened by the jaws of relegation, they have a good opportunity to claim all points against Okayama Fagiano. For a side that managed a 1-1 tie with Urawa Reds last week, the simple explanation has to be that they have been unlucky this season. All their losses in the last seven league appearances have been close shaves, signifying the need for improvement in the goal-scoring quarters.

🏁 Albirex Niigata: Lineup

Team: Since the 4-4-2 held up well against Urawa Reds, it will be repeated this week. Coach Dausuke Kimori will most likely replace Kasai with Komi while pairing him with Hasegawa, scorer against Urawa Reds.

Players: There are a few players who can inspire the game, with Hashimoto, Fitzgerald, and Danilo Gomes expected to come through against Okayama’s best attackers.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Yoshimitsu, Hashimoto-Fitzgerald-Geria-Fujiwara, Okumura-Hoshi-Arai-Gomes, Hasegawa-Kasai

👤 Head Coach: Daisuke Kimori

⛔ Out: Nil
