Prediction for the J1 League game between Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Kawasaki Frontale, which will take place at the Edion Peace Wing, Hiroshima, downtown Japan.

Last Five Matches: WWWWW

SanFrecce Hiroshima’s excellent run in their recent league games has shocked many onlookers who didn't expect the side, who has previously been the lesser against their opponents, to dust off defeat and aggressively pursue victory.

Last two weeks was a testament to their blazing mettle as they frustrated the lives of the two Tokyo provincial teams, Tokyo Verdy (2-1) and Tokyo FC (3-0).

At the Edion Peace Wing, they have claimed three wins of five games played against their opposition.

Currently, they are settled in the third spot, two pints behind the Hitachi Sun Kings, who depending on their performance against Visse Kobe could either drop below, or maintain the status quo.

🏁 Sanfrecce Hiroshima: Lineup

Team: SanFrecce Hiroshima found their nerves against Tokyo FC, after a first half stalemate. Tabloid news credits the Michael Skibbe factor, as the definitive variant in the team, who has risen strongly from the ashes. There are no injury concerns at the moment.

Players: Hayao Kawabe was phenomenal last week against Tokyo FC, and his contribution to the team earned him the player of the match award. Much is expected from him in this game.

🔖 Predicted Lineup(3-4-2-1): Osako, Sasaki-Araki-Shiotani, Arai-Kawabe-Higashi-Nakano, Kato-Maeda, Germain.

👤 Head Coach: Michael Skibbe

✈️Kawasaki Frontale: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LWWDD

Kawasaki’s has battled for their lives since the return form the AFC, playing against the toughest teams of the league. Their lineup has been against Kashima, the league leaders (whom they lost 2-1 against), Yokohama FC (2-1 win), Cerezo Osaka (2-0 win), Urawa Reds (2-2 stalemate), Gamba Osaka (2-2).

Last week against the Blueblacks of Gamba Osaka, they fell behind despite scoring the first goal. They finished on level pegging with two goals a-side. Kawasaki perches on the seventh spot, with one loss, two wins and two stalemates. Away from home, they have lost their most recent two games, and as such be considered second best against a ravaging host.

For a team that has consistently scored, we envisage that they pose themselves a serious threat against the Hiroshima Boys.

🏁 Kawasaki Frontale: Lineup

For a side that has scored nine goals in the last five league appearances, it is safe to say that they will play their hearts out against their rock-solid opponents, who have the advantage of home. Shigetoshi Hasebe is the man for the job, and the 2-2 stalemate against Gamba Osaka looks right as a stepping stone towards winning all points against Hiroshima.

Team: The team has been impressive, playing to avoid defeat even as they strive towards better league standings. Shigetoshi Hasebe’s experience remains the spine behind their laudable performances as they aim towards the next AFC Champions League.

Players: Goalie Yamaguchi was a total disappointment last week, conceding two cheap goals to give the lead to the opposition before they found an equaliser. Tatsuya Ito and Marcinho were rewarded for their efforts with goals, having played as standout members of the squad.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-4-1-1): Yamaguchi, Sasaki-Maruyama-Takai-Wermeskerken, Tachibanada-Kawahara, Marcinho-Wakizaka-Ienaga, Kobayashi

👤 Head Coach: Shigetoshi Hasebe

⛔ Out: Yamamoto (injured)
