Fagiano Okayama vs Avispa Fukuoka Prediction: A Difficult Game To Predict; Take the U2.5 option.

Fagiano Okayama vs Avispa Fukuoka: Prediction for the Match on June 15, 2025

Prediction for the J1 League game between Fagiano Okayama and Avispa Fukuoka, which will take place at the City Light Stadium, Kanko, Japan. 

Victory has not been a thing for the visitors who have either lost or managed a point in the last five matches. In sharp contrast, Okayama have played three league games unbeaten and would strive to avoid loss here by all possible means.

A brief preview of the game, with a concise analysis of player form and team tactics is given below.

Fagiano Okayama: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: DLWDD

The native Pheasants of Okayama have maintained to stay afloat this season, playing nineteen games to secure six wins, six draws and seven losses. 

Recently gaining promotion this season, it looks like Coach Kiyama's sole focus is league buoyancy, seeing how he rested his definitive players in the Emperor Cup game against Kitakyushu, eventually losing 2-0 at full-time.

At home, fans have mixed feelings, with the last four home games producing two losses (1-0 v Tokyo Verdy; 2-1 v Kashima Antlers), one win ( 2-1 v Albirex Niigata) and a stalemate (2-2 v Machida Zelvia)

The aim of this squad looks far from silverware ambitions, and although their season pitch display already signifies that they will remain in the J1 League, nothing much shows that they can be elites among the elite.

Fagiano Okayama: Lineup

Team: Ataru Esaka’s purchase from Ulsan upon promotion was an attempt to boost momentum and strengthen the attack, but so far, has yielded little result with the team barely hanging on threads in the eleventh league spot.

Players: With the recent own-goal saviour against Shonan Bellmare, we can boldly infer that the herd mentality pushed by these set of players - all attack, all defend; would prove counterproductive against Fukuoka. Sato’s midfield coordination earns him the player of observance and while the opposition would watch closely for him, his mates must do all they can to give him freedom to roam and create opportunities.

Predicted Lineup(3-4-2-1): Brodersen, Suzuki-Tagami-Tatsuta, Kato-Tabei-Fujita-Sato, Esaka-Kimura.

Head Coach: Takashi Kiyama

Out: Nil

Avispa Fukuoka: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LLDLD

The Hornets of Fukuoka have been stung by their recent opponents, failing to finish first in their last five league brawls, which produced three losses and two stalemates. The weak quality of play exhibited on the pitch extended towards the League Cup encounter against Hiroshima, who completed a comeback and eventually ended what seemed like a promising run. 

The Emperor Cup break saw them gain the upper hand against Okinawa SV in the 2-0 full-time playout guaranteeing their stay in the next round. 

Fukuoka has not scored two goals in the last six league games, indicating that the attacking lineup needs a total overhaul, and as quickly as possible. 

They have lost their last three games away from home and while the fans wait for a stroke of fortune, a lot of revisits must be made to the drawing board. 

Avispa Fukuoka: Lineup

Team: Fukuoka cannot be written off because they remain worthy contestants on the pitch. The only problem they struggle with is exhaustion. Once the body becomes tired, their mind follows and they concede. That has been the pattern and it has to change.

Players: It must be said that the players need the hairdryer treatment, as they need to curb their excessive ball time wastage and poor defensive coordination, especially in the second half period. 

Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Murakami, Kamijima-Ando-Shichi, Yuzawa-Matsuoka-Shigeni-Maejima, Konno-Fujimoto, Iwasaki.

Head Coach: Myung Hwi Kim

Out: None
